RE: [Bug-gnubg] Is it time for Gnubg 0.15? Re-rolling the positiondatabase.

[Albert Silver]

I meant the training positions. Would it help to get you (and anyone working
on the neural nets) more positions? It's not easy to get a big number of
them, but it is relatively easy to get some positions though. 

An easy way to do so, is to have Gnubg play against itself, and have Snowie
4 analyze the matches. You then take every move Snowie says is an error, and
check that it is indeed an error. These errors would then be the base of
positions.
