Perhaps, or one could consider it a nice incentive to fix the issue.

I suppose there is no hope of persuading you to try 6.5 komi + Japanese rules... :-) Best, Erik _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
