Ofcourse they can know. They just have to check for it. Those programs that do well against mirror go probably all do check for it. What to do about it is a bigger problem. My suggestion would be to make an extra search that assumes mirror play by the opponent. This has to be taken with a grain of salt, because the opponent could deviate at any time. So what could be done is to add a small fraction of the mirror search winrates to the regular search win rates.

But go programs do not KNOW they are playing mirror go and would have no motivation to specifically set this up. So how is it that some equally strong programs have no problem while others do? - Don On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 9:48 AM, Seo Sanghyeon <[email protected]> wrote: 2009/7/20 Don Dailey <[email protected]>: > Again, I don't understand go so well, but how do you win against mirror > go?
