Is it really necessary?
I mean, I understand Folkert's question very minimally, strictly as you
state it in that paragraph.
More specifically, if the programmer is OK with losing a game (likely by
time-out) when he tries an illegal move, and just ensures that the bot
is again available for the next round, is that a problem?
CGOS immediately scores the the game as a loss if a program
attempts to make an illegal move (eg. super-ko).
Thanks for the information.
It does not change the question, though. Is it OK for a programm that
still plays the next round to lose like that, or is it a problem for the
other bots/the server…?
