I know you were joking, but did you notice the trend? Random bots average 111 moves, bots that play over 2400 ELO stronger than that average 119 moves. So maybe you have to be STRONG to make the game last longer! However, I think I have a theory why the games go a few moves longer on average. My guess is that there are less 1 point eyes remaining with good play. Random play may create more eye points accidentally because neither opponent is actively trying to prevent this. - Don > > Darren > > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
