The best Backgammon I've seen runs under Windows 3.0. It is
called "Backgammon By George!". Let me explain. The frustration
I had with the above three programs and the fun I had had with
BKG, Hans Berliner's old program, years ago, playing it, sort
of convinced me to keep a watch for up and coming backgammon
programmers in the hopes that someday a good backgammon program
would surface.

The long and short is that Backgammon By George! came out by
a fellow named George who I befriended. I chose the name for the
program and you'll see my name in the instruction booklet copyright/credit
page and on the retail product box.

The program plays moderate backgammon. It is not near expert, so
don't think you'll be getting an expert-level program or anything.
Its interface is fantastic, very slick, completely integrated with
Windows.

BG06 has been replaced by BG15.  It is available on Compuserve in
WINFUN forum as BG15.ZIP.  If you have problems getting it from there,
