It's not a bad dream. That kind of thing could help spur development of good ways to handle Japanese scoring. I fear that programs which are weak would have a really tough time with Japanese scoring. I personally put a lot of weight on making my bot playable with people. I have ignored this aspect of my bot since going MC since I've been doing a lot of rewriting and getting basic functionality. Now that my bot has achieved ~1400 ELO, however, I'm likely to start working on this human element again. If we put up a milestone like 9x9 Japanese CGOS starting 1 Jan 2008, I'd be very likely to upgrade my bot to handle it in prep for that. The delay is mostly so that I both have time to implement it and to work in a few other major features such as those used by MoGo, CrazyStone, and greenpeep. If I'm lucky, I'll be over 2000 ELO this time next month... Out of curiosity, how well do those strong bots do when limited to 10k playouts?
