But GnuGo uses a lot of memory, or perhaps that can be controlled but does that slow it down a lot? I'm pretty sure gnugo is deterministic, need to check this out - maybe it would be ok to use gnugo if it isn't. Another way is to modify it to play more randomly during first few moves but I'm sure this weakens it and it wouldn't really represent gnugo. - Don > Hello, > > GnuGo at level 0 met almost all requirement I think.
