Title: OpFor ponder setting
Post by Janzert on Sep 1st, 2008, 9:25am
Omar, thanks for getting the new time control versions of opfor up and included in the bot ladder. I hope it adds some more variety for people going through it.

I did want to mention that pondering should probably be shut off (ponder = False) for all of them though. For the fixed depth bots it of course never makes sense to ponder. Also because of the way pondering is currently implemented it can occasionally take 30 seconds or more for opfor to notice that the opponent has actually moved. While that is bad in a CC time control game it's probably debilitating in a fast or especially blitz game.

Yes, I noticed you had similar comments in the bot config file and I set pondering to False for all the versions except CC.

Thanks, I didn't remember that I had left a comment in the config already.
