[Computer-go] CrazyStone in the 5-dan footsteps of Zen

[David Fotland]

For the last year or so, all the bots have been using this time control
(nine 15-second periods), so the bot ratings can be compared.  All the
periods are the same 15 seconds.  So any time over 15 seconds uses one of
the periods (over 30 seconds would use two periods, etc).  15 seconds is
pretty reasonable for a quick game, and 9 periods allows a couple of long
thinks.

Hello Don,


> What time control was used for these games or did it vary?

In the last few days it was 15 seconds per move, with
9 byoyomi phases.

 

I don't think that specifies the time control does it?    So if a player
exceeds 15 seconds he starts to use one of his byoyomi periods?    How long
for the byoyomi phases?  

 

I don't think 15 seconds per move average is bad for humans at all,  but if
you have to make each move in 15 seconds it's horrible and I can see that
this is going to make the computer really look good.  

 

For making strength claims there should be some sort of standard.   You
could take almost any program and get 5 dan or more  by setting the time to
1 second per move.
