Of course, any program is free to give its opponent any handicap it wants, by passing in the opening (if the opponent didn't pass last). It is up to the operator of the bot to decide when and how much handicap to give, and how to analyze the results. The handicap-giving program can play under a different name, so that for CGOS it looks like a totally separate entry, with its own rating. -H -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
