[gnugo-devel] Pattern EJ72

[Portela Fernand]

Lately, I've run quite a lot of twogtp matches and I very often noticed
the (in most of the cases, bad) effect of the above mentioned pattern.
Because of its J classification, Gnu Go never plays the joseki :

|.........
|...X.....
|.....O...
|...X....*
|.....O.X.
|.........
|.........
+---------

I also saw Gnu Go play that jump in following position :

|.....*....
|...X......
|.....O....
|...X....O.
|.....O.X.O
|..........
|..........
+----------

while there was clearly more urgent moves to play elsewhere on the board.

Shouldn't we do something about it, either kill it or make it j maybe ?
