There are 3 gtp commands for handling this: fixed_handicap place_free_handicap set_free_handicap
You are arguing that fixed_handicap, even though it's quite explicit, is the wrong one to use in this situation? set_free_handicap would also work - the server just specifies the points and tells both engines. It doesn't matter which we use but I would use the one I thought would avoid the most confusion. Which command does KGS use? - Don On Thu, 2006-12-28 at 15:56 -0500, House, Jason J. wrote: > > And your programs must be set up to "just understand this" if it > > matters. > > ... > > it will know where to put the > > stones initially, > > I disagree with this portion.
