 [?\]: It can be turned on with --monte-carlo.
ibd [13k?\]: this bot is scary because of how fast it plays :o
gunnar [?\]: Then level 12 for the normal move generation is probably fine.
ibd [13k?\]: see ya
gunnar [?\]: Not sure what --mc-games-per-level should be set to. Default 
should be faster than necessary.
dwbump: next time I will consult you before setting the options
gunnar [?\]: Seems to have worked out fine anyway. :-)
dwbump: I have to go to lunch now
dwbump: thanks Jacqueline
gunnar [?\]: See you.
dwbump: I'll leave deepgnu up if you want to play more games
dwbump: it's configured to play only against jacqueline
dwbump: i will change that after lunch
jacqueline [?\]: Bevore more games, I need to improve
