[computer-go] Re: Interesting problem

[David Doshay]

Oh ... I should have been more complete ...

I think that the things said below should be the case when the
tournament is not announced as playing under Chinese rules,
as are all KGS computer tournaments. I do think that the TD
gets to set the rules that they prefer.

I just hope that someday the extra skill required as mentioned
below is applied to computer programs, and rewarded accordingly.

Cheers,
David
