I think when a bot should resign is a matter of personal preference. I myself prefer to see games played out if it's somewhat close or very near the end. If there's a handful of moves left what's the point of resigning? > But against humans it should technically be the same, but isn't. When > playing against humans a bot needs to be able to mark dead groups. I have the same feelings whether it's a bot vs bot game or bot vs human. As for marking dead stones, obviously a bot needs to be able to against humans, and I never suggested otherwise. My only point is that you don't need territory scoring rules for this. -Jeff _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
