No Name Go Server

New items:

First NNGS Tournament! See: help nngst on NNGS!

Some notable items at NNGS:

1. Gobot, a Go playing robot, that presents pro games 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While observing a GoBot game, type "ginfo" and you will get the game title and game event.
   Gobot takes requests. Type "help request" while on NNGS.



2. We have implemented a rating system, based on Pettersons system.
   Please see "help ratings".
   
   *NEW*: http://imageek.york.cuny.edu/~nngs/rats.html
   These are rated users progress graphs.



3. Pair Go (RenGo). See "help pair-go".



4. Many new commands such as awho, censor, and gshout (Go related shout).



5. We do have a great Ladder System, which is a continuously running tournament for serious players. By winning just one even game, the challenger replaces the opponent's place on the ladder. See http://imageek.york.cuny.edu/ladder.html for ladder stats on WWW.



6. The server employs the Super Ko rule.



7. New commands:
   • problem : Allows you to view life and death problems.
     (See "help problem")
   • sresign : Allows you to resign a stored game.
   • spair : Aids in the setting up of pair matches



8. Source code availability. I am a strong believer in the GNU project. If you have a lot of drive space, and you are interested in seeing how it all works, and what kind of a mess you can make of your system, the server source is located at: imageek.york.cuny.edu:nngs/src
   
   There are a few files there, please get all of it. Make sure you have a lot of drive space, it is 2 meg uncompressed, and a whole lot more compiled. The source will also be available on prep.ai.mit.edu, I assume right after the holidays when they can move it out of the incoming directory.



9. A decent channel system and commands to make using channels much more user-friendly. (Multiple channels, and saves channels between logins!)



10. Many friends who will respond to your ideas and questions.
