You missed 11x11. I used to test a lot with 11x11. I think it's a great size, a big step up from 9x9 and more go-like than 9x9 but still easy to test.
But I agree with Heikki - we probably don't want too many variants. Perhaps I set up 19x19 tomorrow on Dave Dyers server. I'm think 20 minutes per player - 30 minutes is better but there would be a lot of waiting around - up to 1 hour per game. Taking votes now. 15, 20 or 30? - Don On Mon, 2007-05-21 at 23:10 +0200, Heikki Levanto wrote: > On Mon, May 21, 2007 at 03:13:09PM -0400, Chris Fant wrote: > > Why not 13x13 before 19x19? > > Because the next step would be 15x15, and then 17x17, and when (if) we > get to 19x19, there are so few competitors around that the whole > tournament won't make any sense. > > I think it is better to stick to 9x9 as the "beginners" tournament, > where it is easy to test new ideas in quick games, and 19x19 as the > "serious" tournament where we can see how good computers are at playing > the game like we humans do. > > Just my humble opinion, of course. > > - Heikki > _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
