Re: [gnugo-devel] 9x9 go

[Dan Stromberg]

On the subject of 9x9's, my father is trying to learn go and would like
to play gnugo, but if he cranks up the handicap to 4 or 5 stones (this
is hearsay, I haven't checked it myself) as needed, gnugo immediately
resigns.  Is there some way gnugo could be made less inclined to give up
for beginners?

I believe he's using the gnugo version that comes with Goban, the Mac OS
X program.  If this is improved in later versions, that's great info to
see.
