Serious point. I did not have that in mind. In principle I would allow him to participate - as long as he does not exploit the exact structure of the "pseudo-random" generator within MF. Knowing David for several years now as an honorable man, I would believe him when he gives his word on this. > Of course, for experiments it would be neat to have a binary of this > version, but maybe that would make the challenge too easy (or prone to > overtuning).

I'm looking forward to giving this challenge to Pachi. I think, sophisticated "dynamic komi" will not be enough to achieve the level. You will need some sort of opponent modelling. But future will show. And looking over the fence: When a win at handicap 29 is achieved how much further could strong bots go? 33? or 37? or 49?
