You've been on this list a long time, haven't you? Anyway, I don't think there is much of a question that Chinese rules are much better for getting started with computer GO. If you are newbie, Japanese rules will frustrate you. You can later migrate to Japanese rules if you want - but CGOS and KGS tournaments for go programs use Chinese rules. - Don > > Also, while I love computer-go.. is there a go-player mailing list? > > -Josh > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
