It's not up to me to prove anything. It's up to you. Several of us have tried variations of this idea of dynamic komi adjustment, which seems like a very good premise. This SHOULD help the play. But the fact of the matter is that none of us (so far) has made it work. If the observations do not fit the premise, at some point we should actually scrutinize the premise - even if the premise seems logical to us. I think the ones who still cling to this idea have not actually tried implementing it. Have you tried? If you have, why are still talking about it and not showing us something? - Don > > Benjamin > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ >
