I think this is your problem. You rule is very strict which might make it always correct, but we are talking about random play-outs which are far from correct anyway. I think your rule is too strict and making many results change from what they should be. Your random play-outs are basically moving into eyes that AnchorMan won't. (Yes, I know that it's occasionally wrong, but it's right much more than it's wrong.) I would suggest that you at least TRY the common rule most of us use and see what happens. For a simple test it doesn't have to be fast, just correct. Then you will know for sure whether that is your problem or not. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
