[Computer-go] Computer Go and EGC 2012

["Ingo Althöfer"]

Hello Stefan, hello world (all time zones),

there are situations where clear thinking is switched off.
I seem to wade through such a period.

What I mean is the following:
The human player (in 19x19) determines how many handicap stones he gives
to the bot (either 2 or 3 or 4 or 5). 

When he selects a difficult task (=giving high handicap) he gets high
reward in case of a win. When he selects a more easy task (= giving low
handicap) he gets only small reward in case of success. So, the list
from the original posting (300 Euro bonus in case of a win at 5 handicap
stones) is what I mean.

By giving him this choice under the reward system, I want to learn
what this special person thinks about his/her chances.

Hopefully this is correct now.

Ingo.
