Congratulations to valkyria19, and to GNU, the undefeated winners of yesterday's tournament on KGS. The event was notable for unjustified resignations. MoGoBot1 resigned several games very early; and Fudo9 and scottbot both resigned in won positions. My report is at http://www.weddslist.com

Thanks for the write up. To add to the list of misbehaving bots, in round 4, HBotSVN passed 41 times out of 81 white moves. Probably not surprising, but the 81st white move (move 162) was "resign" Additionally, one nit pick: The text with the diagrams lists bot a vs. bot b and then discuss black

[computer-go] Is CGOS sending TIME_LEFT?

2008-01-07 Thread Jacques Basaldúa
Hi.. My gtp program does not receive any "time_left" commands. I have checked that the command is listed without mistakes in list_commands. I even tried CGOS 9x9 and I get the same sequence. Jacques. -- This is a 19x19 game start (after

The client does not sent time_left unless time_settings is also implemented.So your engine must also implement time_settings which is needed to inform your program of the level it will be playing at. - Don Jacques Basaldúa wrote: > Hi.. > > My gtp program does not receive any "time_left" com

Can anyone point me to a move in a 19x19 game that is commonly seen as the best move but hard to find? I know of the Ear Reddening move, but I don't know whether or not that meets my criteria (I'm not a dan player, or even close). Thanks. ___ comput

I recommend "Mathematical Go: Chilling Gets the Last Point" by Elwyn Berlekamp and David Wolfe. The book contains a number of such positions, as well as an approach that allows to make as many more as you need. http://math.berkeley.edu/~berlek/cgt/gobook.html cheers stuart On 08/01/2008, Michae
