[Bug-gnubg] Re: feature request

[Myshkin LeVine]

Hi Matthias,
			 As others have said your requested feature is no longer part of 
GnuBG. However, the feature that you are looking for is available in 
BGBlitz by Frank Berger. His website is: http://www.bgblitz.com/  The 
feature is called the "Egyptian Rule" in BGBlitz and can be set through 
the "Game" menu. Set it like this: "Game --> Setup Game --> Egyptian 
Rule". BGBlitz is comparable in strength to GnuBG. According to data at 
Frank's website the two programs have played against each other four 
times at the ICGA's Computer Olympiad and BGBlitz won three of those 
contests. BGBlitz is not free like GnuBG, but it is very inexpensive. 
The player version is only $23.00 and there is an unlimited demo 
available.
                                                                Take care,
