These are computer-vs-computer games. Ingo is manually transferring moves between two computer opponents. The result does support Ingo's belief that dynamic Komi will help programs play high handicap games. Due to small sample size it isn't very strong evidence. But maybe it is enough to induce a programmer who actually plays in such games to create a more exhaustive test. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
