Only interesting if it measurably speeds up GNU Go itself. I can see how it could be useful for certain uses of the board code, but we don't want the added complexity if it doesn't give sufficient benefits. > 5.

There are certainly historical reasons but the uses and speed/memory tradeoffs are fairly different. If a unified variant would work well I see no reason not to use it but for the time being I'm sceptical about the feasibility of unification. > 6. Why superko isn't implemented? It has been on the TODO list for ages. So far nobody has found it important enough to spend time on it. /Gunnar _______________________________________________ gnugo-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnugo-devel
