[gnugo-devel] gnugo lost

[Morten Gulbrandsen]

How many handicap stones does gnugo need,
in order to beat any professional playing 9 x 9 ?

How many minutes, (hours)  per move does gnugo need with 
4 handicap stones playing black  9 x 9 in order to 
firmly beat any dan ranked player ?

Attached is a gnugo game, with me.
main time 5 minutes. What time does gnugo need 
in order to give me good moves ? 

5 minutes main time and 20 stones in 5 minutes Byo yomi 
sometimes can be a problem for gnugo.

If gnugo does not find a reasonable good move, 
it is no shame to resign. Or just try a randome move.
Often several good moves are possible, before running out of time,
why not select the best possible move ?



Yours Sincerely
