Changing the aim to max_points seems > to be just a change in metrics, it does not looks like very complicate Go with Hahn scoring looks similarily exotic like Pair-Bot-Go, and I understand the hesitation of all who live in performance-oriented categories. Perhaps it would help some people when such exotic tournaments (Hahn scoring, Pair-Go, ...) would be very clearly in a spirit where winning and prizes does not count more than anything else. For this "relaxed spirit" it might help when the bots did not enter with their traiditional (fame-burdened) names, but with related names like Zen-Gaga, Mogo-Gaga, ManyFaces-Gaga or whatever. (or Gazenga, Gomogoga, gamanyfacesga ...) I am already dreaming of a pair-bot-tournament with continental teams: * ManyFaces & Fuego for North America * Zen & Aya for Asia * Mogo & Valkyria for Europe - Dreamingo. -- Preisknaller: GMX DSL Flatrate für nur 16,99 Euro/mtl.! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02 _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
