Well, I won't bet a fortune :-) I think under area scoring 5 is the second most likely candidate. My reason for picking 7 is that 5 is by many considered too low for big boards, and small boards (in particular odd-size with a unique center point) tend to exaggerate the value of the first move. Under territory scoring I do not know whether to prefer 6 or 7. BTW Here's what I do know for sure: http://erikvanderwerf.tengen.nl/mxngo.html Further, 7x7 is believed to be 9, so now just try to extrapolate :-) Best, Erik _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
