How about rotating board sizes? Each round changes the board size. Just an idea.
One time long ago I considered making a server where there were no time controls. You just played at whatever pace you choose. The server would try to keep your bot busy playing many different games simultaneously. Whenever your move is complete, the server hands you a new position to compute which likely would be from some other game. Slower bots of course play less games. Scheduling for this is an interesting problem, especially if avoiding mismatches is a priority. - Don On Fri, 2008-08-01 at 13:09 -0700, Christoph Birk wrote: > On Fri, 1 Aug 2008, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Something that has worked well in other games would be to change the > > third CGOS every month.
