HouseBot came 7th in the January 2007 KGS bot tournament
[ Posted by Urban Hafner ]
Today was the January 2007 KGS bot tournament and version 0.5 of HouseBot managed to get on the 7th of 10 places. What’s even more noteworthy is that it managed to beat version 0.4 which is a first. That’s probably due to the improved search (a Transposition Table was introduced) and due to some minor enhancements in Life & Death analysis (the first step beyond Benson).
The next goal will be to beat 0.4 consistently and retire it completely. I hope this will be possible until next months tournament.
