No capture goals/immobilizations

I am generally pleased with the revised botbashers page, but there is one area I would like to change.
 
The no capture records currently show the fastest to do so for each bot.  However, this hasn't been done for alot of the bots, so there are too many n/a's.  Also, since it is a relatively rare feat (In over 800 games, I think I have only had 1), and I already listed all of the no-capture immos, I thought it would be nice to list all of the no-capture goals as well, regardless of speed.
 
In actuality, the longer a no-capture game goes on, the more amazing it is - so I definitely don't think we should only show the "fastest" no-captures.  
 
Karl, can you run a query for ALL no-capture games in the database, and divide them by goal and immo?
 
I will revise the no-capture table to show all no-capture games, but get rid of the bot names that don't have one.
 
Thanks.

I'm not sure whether no-capture wins are rare because they are so hard, or because they are so seldom tried, but anyway, here is the list you requested:

My feeling is that listing all of these is a bit of a pointless exercise.  Against a simple bot, this is an easy thing to achieve, which is why not many people try (unless they are trying to do it quickly).  If people tried, this list could easily blow out, and it's already so long that nobody would ever go through it game by game.

After seeing the length of this list, I have to agree with you.  
 
That is why I have decided to list only P2 bots and higher on the ladder for no-capture goals, and all immobilizations.
 
That pares it down to 33 goals and 24 immos.
 
I think the no-capture move records are pretty meaningless for the P1 bots and Occam, Shallowblue, Arimalon, Arimaazilla because they typically are the same as the fastest goal anyways and it is not particularly hard to do.
 
P2 bots put up more of a fight and therefore it is very rare that you can win without any pieces being taken on either side.  All of these games, regardless of number of moves should be recognized.  Coincidently, 15 of the 33 goals were against Aamira2006p2 and its attacking style, which makes sense.  So only 18 other no-capture goals vs other P2 bots and higher (fast, blitz, cc) are on record out of 75,000 games.  A rare feat indeed.

The list is now sorted.

But a difficult one?
 
Anyway, if you are up to the task of listing it every time someone does it, I don't see a problem.

Thanks for sorting, but you were a wee bit late in doing that, as I already sorted by hand in an excel spreadsheet!  Undecided
 
Anyways, I think that no-capture goals vs P2 bots are so rare because newer players usually will lose a piece at some point, and experienced players typically have other concerns if going for records (fastest goal, immo, or handicap - which typically conflict with the no-capture rule ).  The exception is the no-capture immos, which are specifically planned for.
 
Of the handful of no-capture goals vs P2 bots, I would bet that few, if any at all, were actually intentional.  I would have to go back and look at each game to see if there were any times where a player refused to take a piece without an immediate goal threat.  
 
It is still up for debate how difficult it is to pull off a no-capture goal with the intention of doing so at the beginning of the game (vs a P2 bot or higher).  I might try a few times and see.
 
Maybe it would be the right decision not to recognize no-capture goals at all, only immos.  Any opinions out there?

Thanks for sorting, but you were a wee bit late in doing that, as I already sorted by hand in an excel spreadsheet!  Undecided
 
Anyways, I think that no-capture goals vs P2 bots are so rare because newer players usually will lose a piece at some point, and experienced players typically have other concerns if going for records (fastest goal, immo, or handicap - which typically conflict with the no-capture rule ).  The exception is the no-capture immos, which are specifically planned for.
 
Of the handful of no-capture goals vs P2 bots, I would bet that few, if any at all, were actually intentional.  I would have to go back and look at each game to see if there were any times where a player refused to take a piece without an immediate goal threat.  
 
It is still up for debate how difficult it is to pull off a no-capture goal with the intention of doing so at the beginning of the game (vs a P2 bot or higher).  I might try a few times and see.
 
Maybe it would be the right decision not to recognize no-capture goals at all, only immos.  Any opinions out there?

Just my two cents...
 
People usually understand a "hall of fame" as giving an account of RARE feats. The best game for each imaginable category plus a few EXCEPTIONAL games looks like the way to go. Nobody's idea of rare can include a listing of 300 GAMES sharing ONE characteristic, especially over a period of five years with 30 people playing Arimaa on a regular basis at a moment's notice.

I have decided to ditch the no-capture goal records.  The botbasher page has been updated.
 
Also there were a few more no-capture immobilizations that I found in the recent list that were not caught before.  All of them should be listed now.

So you have come from listing all such games to not even listing the fastest against each bot?  Interesting...
 
I guess one guide to whether a class of records should be in the Hall of Fame is whether people compete for those records or not.  Given that most no-capture goals happened incidentally, and not many people have ever intentionally tried for no-capture goal, your decision makes sense.  Originally it was Omar who suggested that type of record and tried for it in one game of the 2004 Challenge, but it never caught on as much as other types of botbashing challenges.

I never cared all that much for them anyway. They are usually of the dull kind. At least a no capture immo. has an ending that looks spectacular.
