I'm not very good at GO, but I would assume that it would change the game some. But it would be a change that was adjusted to. Knowing how to avoid these situations would be part of a good players strategy. How bad would it be? Would it create a situation where good players couldn't beat significantly weaker players any longer? By the way, I'm not really proposing this. I'm just thinking out loud. - Don > Mark > > _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
