Of course, it is in some sense justified by Robert's account name "sum" on KGS. On the other hand, it will (if "really" introduced) lead to lots of missunderstandings, confusing the "sum-concept" of Combinatorial Game Theory with Robert's (opening) style. Indeed, I would prefer "Jasiek style", or, if Robert would feel too shy for it as an alternative "Berlin style" (Robert is the strongest Go player of Germany's capital Berlin.) ********************************************************** Some questions to the go programmers: * Was the success of Fuego (without opening book) in the November bot tournament purely luck? * If not, why at all do you use Joseki books? I understand their merits for 9x9-Go, but at 19x19 ? * Do you have experiences in autoplay: one side with "traditional" Joseki books, the other side without any? * How well do bots without opening books (on 19x19) peform against human players? Some more questions to Robert: In the sample pages of your book "Joseki - Volume I - Fundamentals" http://home.snafu.de/jasiek/Joseki_1_Sample.pdf I found only stuff that looks more less "traditional". Does the book contain also stuff on sum-style / Jasiek-style / Berlin-style ? When did you start to play in this style? Playing your style, where should (in Chinese rules) handicap stones be "properly" placed?
