I think some possibility to send messages would be great. I could swear I saw MogoBot do this, but I couldn't find anything in the KGSGtp documentation. The message I would want to print out most is "This bot will resign by itself if it's lost. If it does not resign in a losing position, the status of some groups is not clear, and should be played out, or there are still some winning chances. It will pass when it thinks it has won." What I've seen several times is that the game gets passed out in the middlegame with a large fight almost resolved (in disfavor of the bot, except that it doesn't understand that sometimes). My bot will only pass out when this wins in the count, so this usually ends up in scoring dispute and an annoyed human. I guess people are aking to interpret "pass" as "resign" when they are winning, but the program's intention is directly the opposite in this case. > Also, it could be interesting if the experimental bots could print the > winning probability for each move they play in free games. Most bots are unranked and hence most games are free, so I'm not sure this is a good idea. Knowning the winning percentage gives you an advantage and can also be very annoying. Being able to broadcast a message to all spectators minus the opponent would be better. This is "whispering" on the chess servers. No idea if KGS has something similar. -- GCP _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
