Yes, but the aim was to win, not to win by a lot, this is NOT the same rules. I don't think we can guess if the bot are weaker or stronger with this new rules (i guess it's about the same :-) ) > Then it was > discovered that scoring wins and losses made a huge difference in their > ability to win.

For sure it would be fun for people to watch a kgs hahn tournament, with bots fighting hard and crushing the weaker one. (with R.Jasiek rule : 1 point on board gives 1 point for tournament) btw, gnugo would be better at this, as it tries to maximise score.
