This seems clean and reasonable to me. (Or you could just as easily have the server do the adjustment and set Komi to 3.5; that would also be consistent with TT rules). If my bot sees 2 black moves in a row, it can figure out it's in a handicap game. A bigger question to me is, how large a handicap might be encountered. Will we see Mogo playing Random with 100 stone handicap, or will excessive mismatches be disallowed altogether? Dave Hillis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 2006- .... If your program is taking black you would get someting like this from the GTP channel:
clear_board komi 0.5 boardsize 19 genmove black genmove black genmove black for a 3 stone handicap game. The opponent would get the corresponding consecutive play commands. I know this won't make everyone happy - but I believe it is more in the spirit of a simple logical rule-set and is what drew me to Tromp/Taylor rules in the first place. Might as well stick close to it. We can call this rule-set "CGOS" - which is exactly tromp/taylor without suicide. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- 2 GB of storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection.
