Blitzkrieg

   

Blitzkrieg is a Go bot playing on ComputerGoServer, it is implemented in C#. Blitzkrieg is based on a Monte Carlo approach and avoids filling own eyes.

Version History:

  • Version 0.3 (07/24/2006): Wasted a whole day to rewrite the core routines to use blocks of stones and iteratively update the liberties of those blocks. However, this introduced some bugs and instead of the hoped for speed-up it slowed the engine down. So I reverted back to a flood-fill algorithm to remove groups and made a few changes to the random move generator based on hints by Don. This lead to a very nice speed-up by a factor of ~3-5.

  • Version 0.2 (03/18/2006): Improved performance, adapt number of simulations to time left. This version simulates around 10000 random games in 30s. Cgos rating: ~1000 (Account: Blitzkrieg)
  • Version 0.1 (03/12/2006): First game on cgos, can do around 1000 simulations runs in 10s Cgos rating: ~700
