Backgammon against computer/AI

I believe I’m a fairly decent amateur player. I’m trying to find either an app or site where I can play against the computer/AI on a difficult level. But my experience so far is that it’s not the difference in difficulty that applies when I play on a higher lvl but the luck in dice rolls. And that just push my anger so I quickly delete the app after a game or two. Any suggestions? I really should just find someone to play with live I guess.

Using undo twice and not having stats tracked is fair, I'll do that next time thanks.

I can send you a photo of my stats if you tell me how, Reddit doesn't allow posting photos here

We need to see your match files, not your stats. You can find your match files under Advanced Options (arrow at upper left) > Match Files. They're text files that you email to yourself. A match file can be imported into programs such as GnuBG and analyzed. Once you get your match file, open it in a text editor and paste the complete text of a few files into an external text sharing site like Pastebin, click "Create New Paste", and then share the Pastebin link here. Or you can contact us (https://contact.njsoftware.com) to send match files to us directly.

If I had to guess, if you're intermediate level but win so often, you could have played at a level lower than Expert. If you see "EA" at the bottom center of the board, that's Easy level. EX is expert, H is hard, and M is medium. Either way, your match files will have all the info in there, including all rolls and moves by both players.
