Title: bot_AamiraFast2006 - suicidal tendencies ??
Post by Tachyon on Sep 12^th, 2008, 5:15pm

I have played a few games against Aamira2006P2 and Aamira2006Fast and noticed it has a tendency to trap its own pieces ... why on earth would it do that ?

see game # 83242 move 13w

P.S. Does this game perhaps qualify for the bot bashing list ?

Typically when a bot can see that it has lost the game, it just picks a random move; and that could be one where it traps its own pieces.

I think this does qualify for the bot bashing record. Just announce it in this thread:
