I recently found that the output from time_left looks identical for main time and byo yomi time. Both give zero stones remaining. I did discover that "time_left 0 0" is sent when main time runs out and byo yomi begins. I didn't check if that occurs after each byo yomi period is lost as well. T

Not having byo yomi because it's tough to code isn't really a good argument. If we want (non-computer-go) people to take the results seriously, the game timing should be the same as what people naturally do. I personally am hesitant to play games with fixed time limits because I don't trust mysel

I noticed that GnuGo is alsousing 10 min.time limit. People's complaining about Crazystone's time can be viewed as the program is getting better. GnuGo uses 10 min time limit. It's short for serious human games. I think part of the reason is that computer program didn't play that well before an
