kgs tournament

[alain.baeckeroot (Bugzilla)]

Hello

I would like to play kgs computer tournament with my "twinbot".
I hope it can play in "formal division" , but i m not sure i can.

It is 99,9% gnugo, with some changes in move generation/evaluation so it
changes between 10-30% of all the genmoves. (taking opponenent best move into
account)

Is this enough to enter "formal" division ?
Do i need an agreement from you ?

i can post my patch, but it needs lots of cleanup ;-)

Thanks
Alain

According to the rules by Nick Wedd, only one GNU Go-bot can enter the
tournament. What I would suggest to do is that Gunnar can enter an "official"
bot in the formal division, and you can enter your bot in the open division.

Btw, I would certainly be curious to see the changes you made!

Yes that will be nice , my twinbot will play in open division

In attachement you find the first draft of this patch, against 3.7.4 which
corrspond to the twinbot running on kgs.

It is a working draft with a lot of comment for _me_ . It is also my first C
program, so please be tolerant ;)
I'm working on a much cleaner version , better order, less uglyness ....

The only idea is:
- examine position
- find top10 W
- find top10 B
add a bonus if top moves are close, and we are in chuban or yose

This patch is good if games_status > 0.7 or for finding some kind of big moves
in chuban.

This breaks a lot of regression tests but roughtly seems as good/bad as gnugo.
I ll redo regression test with the new version, synced to 3.7.8 soon :)

Any comment/correction/explaination/fix is welcome.
Alain

i registred my bot in open division.
I asked if i could enter formal division (if it does not prevent our beloved  
GNU Go to play)

Nick Wedd answered:
"I have so far received no "official" entry from GNU Go for the Formal
division.  If I do receive one, I shall give it priority over twinbot.
Otherwise, I am happy to have twinbot play in the Formal division."

Happy GNU Going.
Alain
