I barely now the rules of backgammon, but I think the problem with chess
is that a single bad move looses a game, therefore you need an exact and
safe algorithm like minimax that prevents silly mistakes.
NNs could be used to compute evaluationparameters but I think no NN will
find a "mate in 7" soon.
