[computer-go] beating mogo with time (funny post)

I am about as strong as the mogos running on kgs. I get a kick out of trying to learn how to beat the mogos there. It's certainly not as easy as beating gnu go with a few stones (just surround it) or beating aya giving it 6 stones (just don't make tactical mistakes, but take advantage of its

[computer-go] Aya weaker bots not MC

AHA, that would explain it. Yes, my reasoning was based on totally incorrectly assumptions about its guts then;) Thanks for the correction. Peter ___ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org

[computer-go] aya bot handicap error?

Hi I am just wondering if Aya bot has a handicap stone playout scoring bug, in which it does not take account for handicap stones the same way as kgs. I just played against it on kgs (peterchris vs AyaBot4) and about 80% into this game I made a huge error that should have cost me the game,

[computer-go] visual tree (gogui extension) help request

Hi, By any chance does anyone have a tip to help me get VisualTree working? http://www.cs.unimaas.nl/g.chaslot/vt/vt09/docs/install.html says I should run java -jar vtbeta.jar but this produces the error: Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/gogui/utils/ErrorMessage

[computer-go] update on networking from phils with new CGOS configuration

Strangely enough, today the network from the phils to boardspace.net is so bad that even don's new configuration doesn't make up for the additional network lag (though I think it alleviates the bot's pain). With .2 seconds of thinking time, the net time detracted from time_remaining is still

[computer-go] more network delay specifics

steve wrote a few paragraphs: --- 208.100.19.102 ping statistics --- 22 packets transmitted, 19 received, 13% packet loss, time 21134ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 327.380/352.887/425.192/25.698 ms this is really pretty darn good, given the setup. the primary delay inbetween japan and the US is

[computer-go] Re: Please have your bot resign, for your own good

About my net lag, Don asked, What do you do when you play on KGS? When playing against humans, there is hardly ever a problem because humans either resign quickly, pass normally, or quit the game (ugh!) - humans don't notice the net lag. In the kgs computer tournaments, it's still my bot that

[computer-go] computer go documentation issues

Taking a look at computer go documentation, I see that there are (at least) three pages that exist in wiki format for top level computer go wiki pages- wikipedia.org - computer go sensei - computer go sensei - computer go programming It seems obvious that these are redundant. It seems

[computer-go] libego questions on playout

Hi LL or any others who know, I've been playing with libego. Nice work, thanks for distributing it. I am working on understanding some of the details of uct.cpp, in particular how it does playouts in life-death and ko situations. I will try to add some helpful comments to the code once I have

[computer-go] libego documentation

Hi, I plan to do some basic work documenting libego. My plan is as follows. 1) I will write what I have figured out and also the open issues on the sensei.xmp.net wiki. Anyone else obviously welcome to contribute, especially fix my errors and fill the gaps. 2) I will add some comments in the

[computer-go] UCT page improvement needed in wikipedia

Hi, I just made a page for the general UCT algorithm in Wikipedia. If you know more about UCT than I do, please improve this stub article. Thanks, Peter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Confidence_Bounds_Applied_to_Trees_%28UCT%29 ___ computer-go
