PALAMEDES is an ongoing project for building expert playing bots that can play backgammon variants. Until recently the position evaluation relied only on self-trained neural networks. This paper describes the first attempt to augment PALAMEDES by constructing databases for certain endgame positions for the backgammon variant of Plakoto. The result is 5 databases containing 12,480,720 records in total; they can calculate accurately the best move for roughly 3.4 × 1015 positions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that an endgame database is created for this game.
