where "all four" gets modified to "all three" or "all two" on the first line or corner respectively? won't you miss any comb shape? ooooo oo##o ##.#o #.##o o###o ooooo s.

This sounds like a really very very bad idea. But I may have > misunderstood. Nah, you understood correctly. I've never liked the idea that normal MC engines will never defend #'s position like below if false eyes are never filled. 2nd line creeps into territory seem like a fairly common situation and not defending them seems like quite a problem. The common cases with life that I miss occur when there are two false eyes that share the same two neighboring chains. Maybe I should upgrade my eye detection to find that... ##O .#O ##O .#O ##O #OO .#O ##O #OO .#O ##O .OO _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Check out the hottest 2008 models today at Yahoo!
