Re: computer-go: Stages of the Go game



You know my program better than I do :)  I had forgotten.  Looking at my code:

The phase is:
Fuseki if there are any unfinished joseki
Endgame if it is past move 120 on a 19x19 board and all groups are stable
Middle game otherwise.

During fuseki the random value for varying play is doubled and the rules
for squirming when behind and filling dame are disabled.

During the endgame the bound for being behind is tightened.

Otherwise the phase information is not used.  I probably did use it
more in the past.

David,

I seem to remember reading old messages in this list in which you mentioned
that ManyFaces _did_ keep track of the stage of the game.  If ManyFaces
used to keep track of "stage of the game", I'm curious why you/it stopped
doing so.  Was it adding complexity without improving results?
