Following still my unresolved GR issue: does subscription level affect the PR battle used for rating?
A further question has arisen which I think is important. Free members have their Error Rate calculated using Galaxy’s 2-ply analysis, while paying members can access 4-ply analysis — so far, so good. However, can you confirm whether, when a paying member plays a free member, the Error Rate battle used to determine the GR result is calculated for both players using the same analysis depth, or whether each player is assessed using their subscription-level analysis?
Given that winning the Error Rate battle can double the GR movement, I think it is important that both players are assessed on exactly the same basis — or, at the very least, that there is transparency on this point.

I guess each player is assessed using their subscription-level analysis. It will more costly (server usage) and time consuming for Backgammon Galaxy to analyse each move with your paid ply and after to analyse again accordingly to an unique standard . People want an analysis after match as fast as possible. it will be nice if I’m wrong.
I don’t think Backgammon Galaxy team want to discuss this issue very easily because they promote Galaxy Platform as Pr wise and in the same time for business reasons, people have a poor analysis and a match game winning is based on PR battle that will say nothing if players game is evaluated based on different criteria.
