Re: [computer-go] KGS tournament results

[David G Doshay <ddoshay@xxxxxxx>]

A minor point of clarification ...

On the web page Nick writes about round 2 "SlugGo played worse, and 
faster, than might be expected in the opening – this was later found to 
be because it had been set up wrong."

The problem seems to be that SlugGo did not properly clean up and reset 
its parameters after the first game in preparation for the second. The 
58 minute wait for white's move resulted in the dropping of SlugGo's 
playing level, and that state information was carried into game 2. 
After a number of moves SlugGo calculated that it was enough "ahead of 
the curve" on time, and its playing level went back up.


Cheers,
David
