Hi Cameron, hi Jonas, thanks for your feedback.

I translated this position in sgf. Programmers can find it at www.althofer.de/mueller-rave-blunder-1.sgf and may try with their bots. > Not sure whether this will translate to the bizarre MC behaviour that > you're looking for, but it's worth a shot... Here is the first little game where we found the anomaly of pure MC. http://www.althofer.de/pure-mc-anomaly.jpg DSR stand for "Double Step Race". The important part is in the upper lane. Each player (White and Black) has one stone there. Stones move to the right, either single or double steps. The first to reach his goal square (with the frame in white and black, respectively) is winner. In the lower part each player has one more stone and 16 black holes around it. This stone may jump in one of the black holes and will not return from there. Every player with (human) intelligence will never move the lower stone, but only run with his upper guy. But MC(8) gets more than 50 % against MC(16) under fair conditions (each player gets the first move in half of the games). Regards, Ingo. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
