Hi Nick, Goanna (agog) timed out annoyingly in that game against GNU.
I have since implemented a rule: "if after some number of samples you have a winning probability that is very close to 1.0, just make the best move right away". There is no need to spend so long thinking in these ridiculous endgame positions. I made some other changes so that passing is more highly favored in certain situations, so hopefully this will be the last time Goanna forfeits a game due to time. I guess that is what I get from only testing on CGOS. The small time increment CGOS gives makes a big difference with the high latency I get due to being based in Sydney, and to the best of my knowledge, KGS doesn't do the same.
