No, but the games were absolute time games where CrazyStone was often in a losing position but ended up winning on time. The endgame in Go takes a long time but is mostly just cleanup. That is why a small amount of time to play each move is usually allowed, even in fast games. The 2k rank is not indicative of how well CrazyStone would play in a typical game of Go. It's like a 1 minute lightning game in Chess; you wouldn't use that to rank a computer. It just isn't very interesting. -Jeff _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
