Hi,

Hi there,

I have developed a neural network based 9x9 bot which I am trying to run on KGS 
using the java kgsGtp gateway (version 3.5.20). The bot is called NubbyBot.

When playing 9x9 games everything works fine. But occasionally the system will 
attempt to setup a 19x19 game with the bot. The bot sends back a GTP error 
(i.e. a question mark) as specified in the documentation. But instead of moving 
on to another game the java gateway shuts down. Sometimes the system considers 
the game to be open and I just have to wait for it to time out. 

I have set my configuration file in every way I could see from the 
documentation to only allow 9x9 games.

name=NubbyBot
password=xxxxx
room=Computer Go
mode=both
automatch.rank=20k
reconnect=true
rules=japanese
rules.boardSize=9
rules.time=0
verbose=t
gameNotes=Neural net bot about 15 kyu.
engine=python -u /Users/nubby/Desktop/kgsGtp/playKGS.py

I haven’t been able to reproduce the problem myself. When I log in as a human 
to the client and try to play a game with my robot the client correctly 
restricts the board size choice to 9x9 by greying out the options. So I’m not 
sure how people are initiating these 19x19 games with my bot. 

I have also attempted sending back alternatives to just a question mark as an 
error. I tried “? error” and “? unacceptable size” (which is the error message 
GnuGo sends back when you send it a weird boardsize).

Am I missing something? Or is there a different error message to send or way to 
stop people soliciting my bot for 19x19 games? Is there anyone on the list who 
is successfully running a 9x9 bot on KGS without experiencing this problem? 

Thank you,
Alexandra
