 Did you know that weakbot50k and idiotbot don't actually handle the
game end at all? Once both players pass, they switch to using gnu go.

Source code for weakbot50k and idiotbot is at
http://londerings.sourceforge.net/go/kgs/ .
This was running in last tournament and I think almost all other
tournaments too.

As far as I remember and now see looking at code its 100% python code
and doesn't use any external programs for *anything*.
It doesn't need to, removing dead stones in 'unconditionally' decided
game is reasonably simple for most of time.

Sorry. I didn't mean to misrepresent your bots.



PS.
You might be confusing GnuGo1pt2, GnuGo2, LibertyBot, DrunkenGnu and
similar bots with WeakBot50k and IdiotBot: those older GNU Go:s use
recent GNU Go for cleanup because they either don't have code for it or
would handle it wrong.

Also WeakBot50k at rated games in KGS uses C code from GNU Go for speed
reasons and move generation logic ported and improved from python
version. Resign code in all bots which plays random games also uses C
code.

After seeing that list, I'm not embarassed about mixing up your bots :)
