That still has the undesirable characteristic that you can use much less time than your opponent but still lose on time. You might as well set a time-control of 1 minute per move and you lose if any moves go over 1 minute. I also don't like having to account for move numbers. It's ok if the computer is tracking this such as online sites, but it's a pain remembering and keeping up with move numbers in games played on physical equipment. - Don > s. > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. > http://new.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/features/mail/index.php > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
