You can test your bot on the 19x19 cgos now, since I added 3 weak players today. They are so fast they don’t load my machine, so I’ll leave them up.

Down the road, when I'm ready for it, I'd like for there still to be a 19x19 CGOS much like the one now. But, in the mean time, the current 19x19 CGOS is of no use at all in helping me get there. Ten minutes per side or faster would be ideal. Don's plan for 2 speeds on the same server sounds good, assuming bots don't have to wait too much. Currently, I see no good options for testing my 19x19 bot. Wally is much too weak, Gnugo is much too strong, and self-play is too hard to interpret. That's a major reason I haven't tried it much. - Dave Hillis -----Original Message----- From: John Fan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: computer-go <computer-go@computer-go.org> Sent: Tue, 8 Jan 2008 4:38 pm Subject: Re: [computer-go] How to get more participation in 19x19 CGOS? I do not have a 19x19 bot right now. But I found that fast engines have to wait for slow engines is kind of boring. For example, if a majority of engines finish the game within 5 minutes and only one or two engines will finish the games in 30 minutes. Then all the fast engines have to wait the slow engines finish the game. Maybe we should consider scheduling games for the available engines at every 10 minutes while still leave the time limits for each game at 30 minutes?
