final_score taking ages?

[flok]

Hi,

In gnugo, is it correct that "final_score" takes a few minutes to complete?

E.g.:

Code: Select all

11:10:20 1d folkert@belle:~ $ gnugo --mode gtp
genmove b
= Q16

genmove w
= C4

final_score

Hmmm, strangely enough it doesn't always do this.

If the position is simple to analyze, then GNU Go will score it rapidly. If it has to run some complex search in order to determine the life status of a group, then it may take a while.
