I'm working on my own program, and I don't want to be limited to 10 minutes for 19x19. I'll let others speak about their own programs. > Maybe I am confused about the goals of CGOS?

Having the strongest program at a very fast speed is not as interesting as having the strongest program at a "reasonable" speed, for some definition of reasonable. I think getting a very fast rating on minor updates should not be the goal of CGOS -- you can do that on your own machine with Gnu Go, MoGo, and your own test suites. CGOS should be more like a continuous tournament to test major updates of programs. Waiting a day or two to get a rating at reasonable time controls then shouldn't be a big deal. That's my 2 cents, anyways. -Jeff _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
