for future consideration: chinese handicap might be useful for programs -- as each handicap stone is played, the board is simply going to look better and better. sure, you won't be able to consult an opening library, but it might be interesting to see where your code thinks that the first 4 (for instance) stones on an empty board should go. there are lots of good options, so the play might not be as bad as it sounds. joseki in the hands of anyone, including a computer player, is hard to do correctly. s. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Any questions?
