There is indeed a problem with Dynamic komi with Zen. Zen often loses the handicap games if black tries to minimize the move count. Often if it is possible to bring game to small yose in around move 180 or so and if not too much behind, then Zen most likely will lose. I have played few games where Zen noted only when filling last dames that it is losing the game by few or half points and then resign. Although, one game was that I lost by ½ points, because I accidentally defended unnecessarily instead of taking the last dame. One game was that i was about ten points behind around move 180, but then Zen played a slack small yose, and lost by 2½ points. Also good and very easy strategy against zen in handicap games is to take all the sides and give center territory to the Zen. Zen almost always will take the center territory as too small and gives sides as too big.
I think people often confuse the evaluation problem and the dynamic komi problem. A more urgent problem is the underestimation of the edge and corner territory. -- Yamato _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
