RE: [gnugo-devel] FW: 9x9 Bug in 3.2 ? GnuGo passes after first move

[Kevin 'Zaph' Burfitt]

I guess GnuGo is overestimating the skill of it's opponent :) a 5 handicap
on a 9x9 board probably indicates that the opponent is a complete beginner
and GnuGo should keep playing for a while anyway, just in case Black makes a
mistake :)

Thanks,
Zaph
