Ah. Orego will have the "ponder" feature soon.
I am busy to include "pondering" for FirstGo.
Should be ready within a few days.

Yes, ponder in English means to think, but in the context of this
discussion it means specifically to "use the opponents time to compute!"

And being a native English speaker would not help you to know this - it
is a very specialised meaning.

Note that "rand.nextInt(int n)" might be what

Hello,
I ran exactly in the same pro
I tried creating a random number generator
java.util.Random rand = new java.util.Random()
and then asking it for a random int
rand.nextInt()
which I would then take modulo the board size to choose a random
point. Since ints in Java are signed, I would have to take the
absolute value of thi

Both Valkyria and MoGo (I think) ponder. This works very good on 9x9 but on
19x19 it might only work well after forcing moves.

Lazarus does not ponder, but it should. This is potentially a
nice improvement as Lazarus predicts the opponents moves fairly
consistently.

Increasing komi is much easier than placing stores, but a much weaker
