Excerpts from the mailing list:
From: Gunnar Farneback To: gnugo-devel@gnu.org Subject: [gnugo-devel] GNU Go in the Computer Olympiad Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 01:09:38 +0100 GNU Go will be entering the Computer Olympiad, taking place November 23-27, thanks to the organizers generously allowing us to participate although nobody from the team will be present. GNU Go will be operated by Erik van der Werf on a very fast (3 GHz!) Linux laptop. I have provided him with GNU Go 3.5.2olympiad which is GNU Go 3.5.2 patched with my workaround patch gunnar_5_3.5 (Paul's proper patch weren't available at that time) and the version name changed. I have also instructed him to use the options (running through CGoban) --quiet --level 12 --chinese-rules -o game_record.sgf I don't think --chinese-rules has much actual effect on the play but since the tournament uses Chinese rules it shouldn't hurt. Regarding the choice of level the time allowance is 50 minutes, no overtime. On such a fast computer I feel the default level would run ridiculously fast. Since I don't really trust our autolevel code (has it ever been properly tested?) I prefer to use a fixed level. Level 12 is maybe still too conservative but should at least be fairly safe. Any opinions about this? Information about the Computer Olympiad can be found at http://www.cs.unimaas.nl/olympiad2003/ /Gunnar
