[gnugo-devel] bug report (maybe)

[Niklaus Haefliger]

hello gnugo developers

First I want to say thank you for developing gnugo. I have been playing 
a lot against it recently, even though I'm able to beat it most of the 
time now (at least when I play black).

Once I played it, something strange happened. Gnugo began taking a very 
long time for it's moves (about 10 min / move on an Athlon 500) and ran 
out of time soon (I gave it a lot of time, something like 30min 
+5x1min). I didn't run any other programs (apart from cgoban) at the 
time and gnugo used up all the CPU.  I guess this was gnugo's fault, but 
I'm not 100% sure it wasn't something else on my system.
The version used was gnugo 3.0.0
I attached the sgf of that game, maybe it is of some use to you.

Keep up the good work

Niklaus
