Re: [gnugo-devel] arend_1_25.3: less (??) experimental influence

[Daniel Bump]

I notice that although games have resumed on NNGS, the web page
at: 

http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gunnar/gnugo/nngs/

stops on February 2. Will this extremely useful page be restarted?

Thus far the match between GNU Go and itself has progressed to
23 games. The experimental influenced version has won 16 out of
these. The scores:

W+33.5
B+43.5
W+13.5
W+15.5
W+12.5
W+9.5
W+39.5
W+33.5
W+16.5
W+29.5
W+31.5
W+23.5
W+28.5
B+23.5
W+14.5
W+54.5
B+43.5
B+6.5
B+29.5
B+4.5
B+0.5
W+1.5
W+1.5

On the other hand even with standard influence GNU doesn't play
9 stone games well.

Perhaps we should make this option standard in 3.1.25! Then if
tunings are broke we can try to fix them.
