Never ending game

So it seems like my game against amybot ddk will never end as he always places a stone on useless spots https://online-go.com/game/25625724 it took so long that I had to pause it and it will probably last a lot longer.

I’ve concluded the game for you. Feel free to call a moderator to those games to end them.

Sorry - this happens when amybot’s internal (neural network) evaluation of the game does not match the expected count (not based on a neural network). I’ll take a look at the game and see if I can come up with some heuristic she could use to give up in these situations.

Ok thanks

With its breadth of 250 possible moves each turn (go is played on a 19 by 19 board compared to the much smaller eight by eight chess field) and a typical game depth of 150 moves, there are about 250 to the 150th power, or 10 to 360th power possible moves.
So you would have to play on for a while (about forever).

Ok it is not about anything like that , I is the game , did you even read what I typed above
