It turns out not to be difficult at all. When it has a killable group, Mogo actively cooperates to bring about these situations, because it thinks it has found a way to live. I have killed more groups in bent-4 in a few evenings of playing mogo at 13x13 than I have otherwise in the last ten years. > Most MC programs won't just let you pick off points because that is > normally a strategy that decreases your winning chances.

If you watch mogo playing on KGS, you will see that when it ahead it does consistently let its opponent 'pick off points' until the game becomes very close. -M- _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
