I tested the three versions only against each other, and tuned them by removing go knowledge. I didn't spend much time on it so I didn't have time to tune against gnugo. I thought that tuning on the server would be better. Since programs do better against themselves, the actual strength difference is probably less than 5 stones.
Level 0 should be really stupid. It can't read ladders, and the move generator only uses patterns that are 3x3. I tested with 100 games, and level 2 gives 5 stones to level 1 and wins 45%. Level 1 gives five stones to level 0 and wins 53% David From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of terry mcintyre Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 7:39 AM To: computer-go Subject: Re: [computer-go] How to get more participation in 19x19 CGOS? Thanks, David! I think you said that your three versions of Many Faces 12 are about 5 stones apart in strength? I'm guessing this means that version A can give B a 5 stone handicap, and win 50% of the time, while version B can give C a 5 stone handicap and win 50% of the games? Have you played the 3 versions against Gnugo? What handicaps seem appropriate there? I think Don Dailey posted that there is a need for a GnuGo on the 19x19 server? I can host if need be, have spare CPU here and full-time connection. Terry McIntyre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education.

You can test your bot on the 19x19 cgos now, since I added 3 weak players today. They are so fast they don't load my machine, so I'll leave them up. David _____ Never miss a thing.
