1. Name: Wonho JEE
2. Country: Korea
3. Name of My Program: GoMaster
4. Feature of My Program:
Firstly the current status is investigated.
- Routine to decide the current status of stones and groups
(dead, live, dangerous)
- Routine to decide the current status of mokus
(perfect, imperfect)
- The connection strength between each two stones is investigated in 5 levels.
If the connection is perfect, they are one group.
If the connection is imperfect, they may be cut.
The connection strength is also used to calculate the effectiveness of move.
Secondly the routines to find next move are processed.
The routines are classified into the followings.
- Fuseki routine
- Joseki routine
- Routine to capture/survive a dangerous stones set.
- Routine to cut /connect a dangerous group,
- Routine to capture/survive a dangerous group.
- Routine to take /keep a side.
- Routine to take /keep more mokus.
The effectiveness of the move chosen from each routine is converted to points and compared with other move.
The move with largest point is chosen as next move.
For the move associated with live stones set/group, the point is based on succesive two moves of two computers.
For the move associated with dangerous stones set/group, additional point is considered.
Status of stones set
The stones set with four blanks is considered as a group.
The stones set with three blanks is investigated to four times successive moves.
The stones set with two blanks is investigated to the last.
Status of group
Investigate whether a group has two perfect mokus at present.
