Pebbles isn't a particularly strong program, but using real liberty counts is better. I have recently taken Pebbles offline to renovate internals. I am adding lists of liberties, too. I am convinced that the richer representation will improve speed, because I have written ridiculous amounts of code that searches for liberties in the course of trying to analyze semeais, ladders, and so on. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
