Re: [computer-go] Computer Go Tournament on KGS



Will the tournament require all programs to implement
final_status_list and final_score?

This would be a problem for me since the life&death reading of Nio is
severely crippled.. It will most likely not stand a chance against
other programs, but I would still like to try it out.
