Re: [computer-go] How about organising a CGOS day ?
I certainly would. Urban Hafner posted a small script that did something like this. With a few enhancements, that may work too. The main thing is that such a script should choose players randomly. Image if several people were playing 2 bots - they would all be in lockstep and never get the full variety of opponents. - Don ___ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/

Part of the convenience of having CGOS is that you can test a change at any time. One way to do this is some kind of sponsor system. If you have spare cpu cycles agree to host someones bot for a period of time. Another way would be to find a way that sponsors/owners don't have to keep manually restarting their bots every few days. I'm more than willing to run bots 24/7, but I get lazy and don't restart them. A casual glance at CGOS (9x9) shows a 2198 rated program actively playing, and yet a 2550 rated program appears on the list - not having played since November 11th. I believe a lot of very strong programs resort to setting up their programs to play at low levels just to enjoy some competition. Something that may help a little is to build a client that dynamically switches programs so that you can run 2 or more bots (but only 1 at a time.)The switching should be randomized, not alternating.Would anyone be interested should I decide to build such a client? I certainly would. Urban Hafner posted a small script that did something like this. With a few enhancements, that may work too. I'm not going to be the one to organize a special day or a sponsor system, but I would welcome either type of effort.

Re: [computer-go] Micro-Matrix GO Machine
I wonder if the power supply can be adapted to European 230V system. It Without modifications, the system would centainly play at dan level. At least: close to God. BTW: the Fotland-article about ladders is very readable. A must-read, even if you want to implement things differently.
