[Computer-go] CGOS status

Hi Is CGOS down/frozen? I can connect, but it seems no games are scheduled. Also, is this the place to report such things about CGOS? -- Francois van Niekerk Email: flash.sl...@gmail.com | Twitter: @francoisvn Cell: +2784 0350 214 | Website: http://leafcloud.com

Re: [Computer-go] using the opponents time for chosing komi

. This seems better to me (and most efficient possible). Is this not the normal way? This would obviously not give time for the dynamic komi estimation you suggest, but intuitively this seems like it will yield the best results (in even games). -- Francois van Niekerk Email: flash.sl...@gmail.com

Re: [Computer-go] using the opponents time for chosing komi

to throw away the non-relevant results or supply twice the memory in the worst case. Depending on the implementation, discarding partial results might not be so easy. But you should ask the successful implententors of pondering for advice. Stefan Am 14.09.2010 11:44, schrieb Francois van Niekerk
