I started myCtest-20k-UCT (BayesELO=1187), and myCtest-40k-UCT (1343).
If necssary I will run an -80k version instead of the -20k.

more useful games.

If you want I can hand over the details for Brown. It's just a random
player, but it's a good benchmark to check for serious bugs, i.e. if you
loose to Brown you have a really bad bug in your program and you need to
check your code. I can of course continue to run it, but it won't be online
24/7.

I also assume that a raspberry pi could be enough to run GnuGo 3.8 (I use
the following options: --mode gtp --level 10 --chinese-rules
--positional-superko --capture-all-dead --score aftermath
--play-out-aftermath)

Thank you Christoph. It's just that sometimes your bots aren't running so
I'd like to run some other bots myself, too.

Thanks Petr,

I'm now running AmiGoGtp on CGOS, too. I think that's enough bots on my
machine for now. Hopefully, the bot will be strong enough soon enough to
make that work.

  ./pachi -t =5000
 policy=ucb1,playout=light,prior=eqex=0,dynkomi=none,pondering=0,pass_all_alive
 (see Experiments and Testing section in README for more details)

   This is plain UCT with light playouts and no move priors. If you just
 implemented the basic algorithms, your program should be equal or better
 than this.

   (Of course you can then gradually enable some pieces, or even just
 some of the priors/playout heuristics.  I'd recommend implementing, in
 the order of priority, captures and 3x3 patterns in playouts, priors for
 the same in the tree, and RAVE.  Don't bother tuning things too much
 before having RAVE as that is a big game-changer; but it probably won't
 work well without at least the playout heuristics I mentioned.)

Hi,


I would like to ask the owner of 'resign13' to stop it, please.


I'm running 'resign13'.
I think it's elo is -407, not zero.
http://cgos.boardspace.net/13x13/cross/resign13.html
Standing list shows zero. but I think it is maybe not correct.
http://cgos.boardspace.net/13x13/standings.html

I stopped it.
The reason I run is to save cpu power.
I'm running anchor Gnugo-3.7.10-a1.
If someone could run anchor, please mail me. 
If there is few bots on CGOS 13x13 again, I'll put it again.


Regards,
Hiroshi Yamashita

I would like to ask the owner of 'resign13' to stop it, please.
Since the rating algorithm appears to be capped at '0' Elo,
'resign13' is skewing the ratings at the lower end.
