So next thing seen in the log file is start of the next game.
For some reason, I thought there was a parameter in the kgsGtp configuration file that would allow the bot to play one game and then exit. That's not there. It seems that kgs-game_over is intended to be the solution to detecting a clean opportunity to disconnect. If the opponent leaves (or doesn't show up) for 5 minutes, it'll call kgs-game_over before waiting around for another game. In a tournament, if the bot always exits when it receives that command (and then gets respawned by whatever is calling kgsGtp), then the bot will reconnect back in its tournament game. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
