It's very often the case that games between, say, two 7d players on KGS will come down, in large part, to one or two or three ko fights and their resolution. or even the threat of a ko fight if one player is weak enough. i'm not sure that even the strongest amateurs count all of their ko threats correctly ahead of playing them (the game is quite dynamic, after all) but this is way, way deeper water than i tread in, so i don't have any real idea. i just wonder if anyone has tried to beat these programs by initiating a complicated but critical ko fight. i'd think it'd be a can't-lose if you chose it correctly. i wonder if it's a repeatable way to beat these guys, or if the depth is handled just fine. the thing that got me thinking about this is that i've never seen an MC player really play out a ko fight. (or perhaps they are in their own cryptic MC way that i can't see). s. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
