Why throttle the playing strength? Wouldn't be enough to raise the threshold where the program resigns? Naively put: if all results say the game is lost, switch the evaluation to "best possible score" and continue playing for a while. If any winning paths appear, switch back to normal evaluation, else resign. best regards, Vlad _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
