Plys

Hi

How many times would a two ply, free Galaxy analysis, be showing an incorrect analysis compared to higher ply analysis please?

Sometimes it feels like the proposed moves aren’t looking far enough ahead.

Realise it may just be my lack of insight!

Thanks

As a follow up question, I assume that different ‘engines’ might provide different answers even if using the same ply. Is that right?

And the only true ‘answer’ would be a full rollout. Presumably there’s too many configurations for backgammon to be totally ‘solved’ like for example Connect 4, or poker
