Let's add byo yomi time. So it would be 1. For test games the match time is 10 min.each plus 5 min for 25 stones byo yomi. The rank and results obtained are not recognized as representing the computer state of the art. 2. For non tournament matches the time is set as 20 min. each plus 5 min for 25 stones byo yomi. The rank and results obtained will be recognized as representing the state of art for the program. 3. For tournament matches the time is set as 30 min. each plus 5 min for 25 stones byo yomi. The rank and results obtained will be recognized. 4. For mtahces between the computer programs and the professional Go players the time is set as 1 hour each plus the standard byo yomi pro games. The rank and results will be recognized. 5. The game uses the Chinese game rule and score counting method. 6. Mistake in calculating score and identifying captured stone is allowed. The reason to choose 20 min. playing time each is because it's the typical match time (total 40 min.) between human players. Someone more familiar with the KGS and IGS statistics can back me up on this. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu, 12 Apr 2007 11:10 AM Subject: Re: [computer-go] Computer match time

Byo yomi of course is a better time control for computers, even if it's slightly more difficult to implement. It also has the advantage that humans may consider it more "fair" to them even though it isn't. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
