Thanks to David Fotland for the supporting information. In fairness to Jeff's argument, we'd have to look at the percentage of games where the strategy was used, versus the games where the strategy was successful.
On the other hand, an 80% success rate is an unreasonable demand; anything over 50% would be useful. An alternate way to find the games info is to click on the Users tab, the User information; enter Manyfaces1, and then click on the Games tab. Or, go to the kgs archives: http://www.gokgs.com/gameArchives.jsp?user=manyfaces1 This player seems to specialize in slaying bots: http://www.gokgs.com/gameArchives.jsp?user=syusaku He or she has a very high success rate. ----- Original Message ---- > From: David Fotland <[email protected]> > > Go to kgs, Computer Go room, right click on ManyFaces1, select View Info, > select the Games tab, and look for games where white is 3d or higher, and > where white wins.
