In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes ponder means to "use the opponents time to think" And being a native English speaker would not help you to know this - it is a very specialised meaning. Nick - Don On Wed, 2006-12-20 at 23:56 +0100, Ephrim Khong wrote:

Quoting steve uurtamo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: hi, this might be a counterproductive idea, but does anyone who mc's also ponder? Both Valkyria and MoGo (I think) ponder. This works very good on 9x9 but on 19x19 it might only work well after forcing moves. -Magnus ___
