   Handtalk uses a single value indeed. So far Goemate likes this.  I want
to change it, but I have not designed the new scheme.  All go programmers
can use two values just as you said, but how to utilize the values would be
problematical.  I don't have enough idea on it.

   I know that you have this question before I contact you directly.  I
think that you misunderstand it.  In fact, Handtalk/Goemate shows
'superiority' data only after opponent's move.  As a result, you can see
that it is so stable.
