Re: [computer-go] Time controls for KGS tournament
In message 49ea696b-bc3e-4cb5-bb20-1b38d09cb...@lclark.edu, Peter Drake dr...@lclark.edu writes The Canadian overtime is new to me. 1) Can a program that simply never runs out of basic time safely ignore this? I believe so. 2) Is there something special that has to go in the config file? I currently have this line: rules.time=18:00 My impression is that the rules.time statement in your config file has no effect; its purpose is to specify the default time settings for custom games, and it isn't going to be playing any while it is set to mode=tournament. I might be wrong about this. To be on the safe side, you could set rules.time=18:00+25/00:20 Nick -- Nick Weddn...@maproom.co.uk ___ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/

Re: [computer-go] Paper: Beta Distribution
Section 3.2 describes a pair of tests that took about 4.2 minutes each (if my calculations are correct). Why not play more games and have each game contain more simulations? Writing the code and the paper is the hard part, waiting for a computer to run your code is easy.

I guess there is a mistake in that paragraph, since you can't run a full game in .25 seconds. That's probably the time per move, so the whole test might have taken 10 or 20 hours.
