Re: [computer-go] 9x9 programs?

[Don Dailey <drd@xxxxxxx>]

Maybe.

I have all kinds of versions of my program that qualify except for the
strength.  It will  take me some time to sort them  out.  Some of them
nearly match gnuo 3.3.21 in strength  at 9x9 but only when given 15 or
20 minutes per move.  Yuck!

Give me a few  days to sort out the version and I  will let you have a
linux binary.

A  current version  I am  experimenting with  wins 18%  of  it's games
against gnugo  with no handicap.  Gnuo  3.3.21 vs my program  on a 2.4
ghz machines at 5 minutes per move.

So you will probably not be happy with the strength.  I don't know how
much a 2 stone handicap will help.  Does anyone have an idea about how
handicap improves winning percentages given a fair Komi?

   Are there any go programs available that speak gtp and play 9x9 at
   reasonable strength that I could get a copy of for free, and run under
   linux?  I would be more than happy with something binary-only.  I'm
   planning to use it for some metamachine experiments, and I'd like
   something in addition to GNU Go (hence, reasonable strength means anything
   gnugo would have trouble giving 2 stones to on a 9x9 board).

   I'll be happy to post any results if there is interest, and I'm willing to
   send copies of the metamachine program to anyone who sends me such, once I
   get it cleaned up a bit.  I'm also planning to release it as open source
   if it gets far enough along to be interesting, or if there is enough
   interest.  Currently this is just for my own fun and experimentation,
   though.

   Thanks

   Evan Daniel
