That's probably a great way to find positions that are interesting for the development Pebbles. Variations that generate more generally interesting methods include: * Analysing dan-level games using those same metrics * Using multiple bots to analyse dan-level games and using those positions which are found to be interesting by multiple bots (also works with wildly different versions of the same bot) cheers stuart _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
