Of course, a good GO program doesn't have to STOP searching just because it's responding to a "continue_search" command. It could anticipate that it will soon be getting another "continue_search" command. But you see things start getting much more complicated, what if it doesn't get another continue_search command? You lose the simplicty of GTP where you get a command, respond to it, wait for the next command etc. With UCI this is trivial from the engines perspective. The program simply responds to commands, pretty much the same as GTP but it's also allowed to send informational messages along the way. It's actually really simple to implement. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
