This article provides an overview of the first 10,000 games played at bgammon.org, highlighting the journey and contributions of community members. The site now hosts around 100 games per day, including backgammon, acey-deucey, and tabula. Two community members, f-a and EGYT, have made significant contributions to the site’s development, including suggestions for client and server improvements. The optimization of the official client, Boxcars, and the backgammon engine, Tabula, has led to speed improvements for users. The Universal Backgammon Engine Interface (UBEI) has been implemented to reduce resources and improve communication between bots and the server. The future looks promising for bgammon.org, with ongoing development and testing to enhance the user experience.
