[Computer-go] News on Tromp-Cook ?

[Olivier Teytaud]

For the olympiads, MoGo has been adapted in a hurry by the operator for the
NNGS
server - this was not that difficult, but in the hurry there
were mistakes, so that mogo did not see the clock and was playing with a bad
clock.
I have no idea of the impact of this on the game.

In 13x13 I'm not sure mogo lost a single game on the board, maybe only games
by time troubles - but I'm not sure of this, and people interested in that
can check the olympiads logs - I have not enough motivation :-)

As for UEC Cup using the Japanese rules, in my judgment, Mogo lost badly to

I think nobody of MoGo's team was at the UEC Cup. I know that in some UEC
Cup
we loose games whereas we had won on the board, due to net lag (a UEC cup
for which mogo was on a remote computer).
Please note that the net lag can have an impact either by making a bot loose
by time, or by making a bot play moves in 10s instead of 40s.

No idea for other games than the game lost by net lag - if it only depended
on me, mogo would not play the UEC cup, and I decided
not to take care of anything around that. UEC Cup is perfectly organized,
but I have no motivation for computer competitions, and I will not take care
of anything else than chinese rules / KGS. Other members of the
team can do whatever they want and they can reply themselves :-)

Best regards,
Olivier
