If the engine says that the marked black stone is alive and the unmarked one is dead then we get the bug.

KGS Robots Page

This page is intended to list all of the robots that are being run on the KGS server. The intent is to foster conversation in the "Computer Go" room to allow the authors to exchange ideas, and possibly get a regular computer go tournament (Tournament Directing Software Requirements) going on the server.

--- Sorry about using this a bug report spot -- but the KGS id gnugo had a fit during the scoring phase of a game. All dame was filled, we both passed, then gnugo went into a loop removing one of it's own live groups, and then marking them live, marking them dead, etc. I was able to get out of the loop by pressing UNDO then pass again, that seemed to break gnugo out of it's loop. It played in it's own area a few times (making hard connections), etc, then finally it passed and everything was normal.

If the engine says that the marked black stone is alive and the unmarked one is dead then we get the bug.

  • wms: This is curious. I checked my code for kgsGtp. It turns out this will happen, if you have two groups both contained by the same eye (of another color), and the engine says one group is dead and the other is alive. This might have been a case where not all the dame were filled, or a real bug in gnugo, not sure which. I should probably change kgsGtp to detect this and do something sensible about it.

The game was jorj (w) vs gnugo on Sept 23, 2004 at 11:16:15 AM (Mountain). (Or perhaps [ext] this Oct 23 game.)

So.. who ever runs the gnugo id might want to review what happened.

Also -- it would be wise for bot owners to put contact info into the description for the id.
