Re: [computer-go] GTP3 should be UGI

Dear Don, I few weeks ago I was busy with Computer-Tomography. I stumbled about the question today when I started to implemented GTP for the new Suzie-GUI. I know that there will be no immediate changes. But as programms become more search-based the focus will change. Then at least UCI should b

Hi Chrilly, Your beating your head against the wall on this one. UCI is far superior, but unfortunately the standard is GTP which actually is far superior to what we had before. There was a pretty good discussion a few weeks ago and the computer go communitiy wants a highly sychronous and ri

In chess UCI has widely replaced xboard. I think UCI is better than xboard. Chrilly - Original Message - From: "Joshua Shriver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "computer-go" Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 4:42 PM Subject: Re: [computer-go] GTP3 should be UGI S

I am a big fan of UCI, and it would be great if we could use a similar interface for go. The only part I would probably not try to reproduce for go is the pondering scheme. In chess assuming the opponent had moved the predicted move was the most popular choice by far, so it was ok to have it ingr

Sounds good, but the xboard protocol is also very nice. Though a UGI sounds like a good step. -Josh On 4/11/07, Chrilly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I am implementing currently for the Suzie-GUI GTP-2. I think this protocoll has a number of shortcomings. a) There is only a very strange way to set
