A player sophisticated enough to even think about doing this is way beyond the level of a simple reference bot using this strategy in the playouts. In fact, even trying to win like this would probably weaken him a little. Why go to the trouble when it's so easy to win other ways? I would love it if my much stronger opponents were to try to get clever on me when they didn't have to. Like this same chess master told me, keep it simple, don't get too clever when you don't have to. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
