In my original experiments (in Summer 2009) I let the bot use dynamic komi when it was stronger than the opponent (and thus had to give handicap): "RULE 42" I started with a reasonable komi-bonus for the bot (leading to a 30+ percentage for the bot) and kept this until the bot climbed above 42 %. Then the komi value was reduced by 10 or 8 or 5 points. The procedure worked well for instance when MC-Many Faces played against a non-MC version of MF. > This should work well on all board sizes, for both black and white, > and in all stages of the game (though increasing the 60% threshold > as the game progresses may make sense).

The simplest solution is the best solution (old proverb). Ingo. -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
