GNU Go Timeout #48

Open ryanb opened 13 years ago

ryanb commented 13 years ago

Sometimes it's possible for GNU Go to get stuck and take forever to determine a move. This happened in game 11832. For a quick fix I should just make it so GNU Go resigns the game in those rare cases. Currently it gets stuck in a loop trying to determine the best move.

Is it possible to drop GNU/Go's level temporarily, play the move, then set it back to the prior level? Curious if this is a known issue w/ GNU/Go.

ryanb commented 13 years ago

Probably. That's a good idea.

Thanks, this should be a fairly easy addition. I haven't had a chance to work on Go vs Go recently but I'll look into it when I do.
