3. would be great, I am very often going through round results to see where CS or abakus has lost its games:) 1. I do not see a way to do this but running on same hardware (e.g. Amazon EC2 with graphic card). Even this is unfair, as programs might be optimized to other configurations (cluster) Detlef Am 07.10.2015 um 12:27 schrieb Nick Wedd: > I am thinking of making some small changes to the way I run bot > tournaments on KGS.
