As the driving force behind SlugGo, I can assure you that the approach 
is easily improved. We did some very simplistic things. From my 
perspective, the important news is: things which are logically weak, or 
at the very least far less than optimal, made the base program much 
stronger, seemingly about 4 stones.

SlugGo is a research project and I am open to sharing ideas. We are 
just starting to write a paper for publication.

Cheers,
