Hello, several years ago Jean Michel (longyear 5-dan from Paris) told me a nice story. In his Go club they had a social meeting annualy, and one of the highlights was a g ame between beset player (5-dan) and another player (2- or 3-dan). No handicaps. But also the president of the club (15-kyu or so) was sitting at the board. At one single moment during the game the 2-dan was allowed to say: "Ok, now it is time for the move of the president." And then the president had to make the next move for the 5-dan, without prior consultation. SO, the 2-dan had to provoke some complicated fight on the board, and in the middle of it the president had the chance to mess it up for the 5-dan.
Now, let us assume two strong go bots (for instance Zen and CrazyStone) and their programmers (Yamato San and Remi Coulom, respectively). Please, correct me, but I think in both cases the bots are stronger than their programmers. In principle, the bots make all the moves. But for three times during a game each bot may require "next move by your programmer". In such a situation the programmer to move would have to switch his computer monitor black (or better: the monitors should only show the naked moves during the whole game). Cheers, Ingo. PS. Ten years ago Jean Michel proposed such a variant with reversed roles: the programmers playing, and computer moves on request only at two or three moments. -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
