For
Backgammon players reviewing their own matches
Worth noticing
The page lists 16 error causes and gives a measured example: 36 opposing rolls hit after one move, versus 16 after the best move.

Field notes

The page describes importing .mat, .sgf, or text match files, with XGID and GNUbg IDs available for analyzing a single position. It names 16 error causes and says a weakness profile ranks them by equity lost rather than frequency. The analysis workflow is presented as using Open Sage with 3-ply search and rollouts for close decisions; the page says AI explanations have their figures checked against the analysis.
