;B[df]BL[597]C[
 Perception NR : Thanks!
 Perception NR : Now I can see the moves it was considering and how good it thought they were, etc.
]
;W[fg]WL[580]C[
 Perception NR : I should add undo now.
 Poka NR : I turned the opening library on.
 Perception NR : It's something I always put off, but now that I'm plaing it's time to have it.
 Perception NR : You have an opening library?  Cool!
]
;B[ec]BL[572]C[
 Poka NR : 9x9 games from IGS and tournaments
 Perception NR : But these are odd moves.  I doubt that they will be in it.
]
;W[gc]WL[556]
;B[gf]BL[550]C[
 Poka NR : Yeah, E7 exited the library.  Libraries aren't much good against weak programs.
]
;W[fb]WL[546]C[
 Perception NR : :-) One advantage of having terrible strategic reading.
]
;B[fh]BL[529]
;W[bb]WL[538]C[
 Perception NR : And F2 would have done it in if the earlier moves hadn't.
 Perception NR : Perception thinks that playing under a 3rd line stone is a great way to cut it off of the edge.  :-(
 Poka NR : I really should port the 1992 version down to 9x9.
]
;B[eg]BL[495]C[
 Perception NR : How was it different from this version?
]
;W[he]WL[526]C[
 Poka NR : 1992 I added a rudimentary 'tactical reflex'.  Kind if kneejerk, still doesn't read, but at least squirm when liberties are low.
]
;B[bc]BL[445]
;W[bh]WL[518]C[
 Perception NR : Why don't you add reading?  Are you trying to avoid it on purpose?
 Poka NR : Perception is being rather aggressive this game.
 Perception NR : Yes.
 Poka NR : No, just lazy.  :-)
 Perception NR : It's not hard.  I did it in 2 days.
 Perception NR : Simple alpha-beta.
]
;B[cb]BL[390]C[
 Poka NR : Spent the last 18 months writing a paper on theory of eye-counting.
]
;W[hf]WL[500]C[
 Perception NR : Perception is looking ahead 2 moves, which makes it aggressive.  At 1 and 3 it is defensive.
 Perception NR : A quirk of my evaluation algorithm; sente means you move first in EVERY local problem.
 Perception NR : I need to fix that, of course.
 Perception NR : It actually plays a better game when it only looks ahead 1 move because it defends itself some.
]
;B[bg]BL[303]
;W[bd]WL[490]C[
 Perception NR : I saw your paper but haven't read it yet.
 Perception NR : I do have the postscript downloaded.
 Poka NR : Anyway, that took up all my Go time.  Didn't even play much, let alone program.
]
;B[ch]BL[199]
;W[ee]WL[481]C[
 Perception NR : Well, I'll have to read it.
 Perception NR : Oh no!  It thinks it has 60 times as much time as it really has!  :-(
 Perception NR : Let's see if it runs out of time.  It might not.
]
;B[cd]BL[121]
;W[ed]WL[471]C[
 Poka NR : Poka thinks it's a bit behind on the board.
 Perception NR : Perception thinks it's ahead by 4.84, but because of that super-sente bug that is optimistic
]
;B[hd]BL[42]
;W[hc]WL[460]C[
 Perception NR : I mean 14.85.  Now up to 17.99.
 Perception NR : I must fix undos and time.  :-(
 Perception NR : is entering byo-yomi
]
;B[ge]BL[820]C[
 Poka NR : Poka agrees it's farther behind.
]
;W[gd]WL[446]
;B[gg]BL[817]
;W[hh]WL[436]C[
 Perception NR : Ah!  A 1 move lookahead!  Now perception thinks it's B+10
]
;B[be]BL[778]
;W[hg]WL[427]
;B[fc]BL[746]
;W[eb]WL[418]C[
 Perception NR : Suryrisingly good move at F7.
]
;B[dc]BL[712]C[
 Perception NR : Not sure if perception did the reading to understand that move or not.
]
;W[fd]WL[410]
;B[ea]BL[689]
;W[fa]WL[398]C[
 Perception NR : Not d8...not d8...please not d8...
 Poka NR : I just hope Poka connects at G8 when it needs to.  :-)
 Perception NR : I don't think it will get that far.  Perception will probably tenuki here.  :-)
]
;B[da]BL[621]
;W[de]WL[390]C[
 Perception NR : But if you give it the chance, perception will defnitely play d8 itself.  :-)
]
;B[hi]BL[582]
;W[id]WL[378]C[
 Perception NR : Does poka play 19x19 very well?  Perception falls apart completely there.
 Poka NR : It was tuned for 19x19 ... not great, but took 3rd in North America this year by luck.
]
;B[gh]BL[537]
;W[bi]WL[368]C[
 Perception NR : Oh!  That's good.
]
;B[ih]BL[504]
;W[ag]WL[350]C[
 Perception NR : Grrr.  Stupid super-sente bug probably recommended J2.
 Perception NR : Now it had better not tenuki.
]
;B[bf]BL[463]C[
 Perception NR : Well...not bad.  Could have been worse.
]
;W[ci]WL[340]C[
 Perception NR : Oh no.  It'll play D1 I bet.
]
;B[eh]BL[428]
;W[ac]WL[328]
;B[cc]BL[407]C[
 Poka NR : Big ko, if it comes to that!
 Perception NR : :-)
]
;W[ad]WL[316]C[
 Perception NR : For a while I had trouble convincing it to fill kos.  Now it seems to do OK at that.
]
;B[gb]BL[387]C[
 Perception NR : ??? Too early!  :-(
]
;W[hb]WL[307]C[
 Poka NR : Thank you!  :-)
]
;B[db]BL[369]C[
 Perception NR : Alas, like most computer programs, perception does not lay traps.
]
;W[ba]WL[289]C[
 Perception NR : It can't imagine the opponent would make a mistake that it can spot itself.
]
;B[ha]BL[354]C[
 Poka NR : I can't believe that ....
 Perception NR : Well, that was nice!  :-)
]
;W[cg]WL[273]
;B[dh]BL[338]
;W[fi]WL[262]
;B[ga]BL[325]C[
 Perception NR : I think I'll write a go paper and call it "tactical alpha-beta saved my program's butt"
 Perception NR : :-)
]
;W[fb]WL[253]C[
 Perception NR : Probably won't be as interesting as your paper.
]
;B[ef]BL[313]
;W[fe]WL[236]
;B[ce]BL[305]C[
 Poka NR : Rats, C5 was Poka's last chance.
]
;W[ff]WL[213]C[
 Perception NR : Yes.  I think so.
 Perception NR : Perception is good enough at reading, I don't think it will mess up now.
 Perception NR : There's a perception binary on my web site if you have Linux and want to play around.
 Perception NR : I figure that if people give each other binaries, we can test our programs at home against each other
 Perception NR : Get more good testing done that way
 Perception NR : Gee...what is it thinking about?
 Perception NR : Probably doing tactical reading on F4.  Since it doesn't know about eyes it sometimes wastes time trying to kill live groups.
]
;B[di]BL[87]C[
 Perception NR : Plus because of the time bug it thinks it still has tons of time left.
]
;W[ib]WL[201]C[
 Poka NR : made 2 eyes by accident.  :-)
 Perception NR : :-)
 Perception NR : Ummm...if it gets low, could you addtime please?  I think it will run out this move, the global search is at 3 ply right now
 Poka NR : Increase Perception's time by 5 minutes
 Perception NR : Please?...
 Poka NR : I just gave it 5 minutes.
 Perception NR : Thanks!
 Perception NR : That should cover it.  Hopefully that will be enough.  :-O
]
;B[cf]BL[251]
;W[ia]WL[189]C[
 Perception NR : What a waste to think 2 minutes about that.
 Poka NR : *NOW* a tenuki would be nice.  :-)
 Perception NR : Let's see.  :-)  I'd be really surprised if it messes up here.
 Perception NR : But this is probably your last chance for a win.
 Perception NR : And it could happen.
 Poka NR : Would take more than those few points.  :-(
 Perception NR : Yes, I guess so.
]
;B[fa]BL[146]C[
 Perception NR : I've really got to fix that stupid time bug.
]
;W[af]WL[179]C[
 Perception NR : Good.
 Perception NR : Here's another chance...will it let poka get 2 eyes?
 Poka NR : Poka needs 3 moves in a row.  :-)
 Perception NR : Yes, but since Perception doesn't know about eyes it just might let it happen.  :-O
 Poka NR : I don't understand why Poka hasn't played J3 yet.
 Perception NR : If it decides to invade at J3 or something.
]
;B[gi]BL[70]C[
 Perception NR : Oh no.
]
;W[ae]WL[167]C[
 Perception NR : I hate to keep asking this, but if you have to, could you addtime again?
 Poka NR : Now only needs 2 moves in a row.  But might not find them even if given the chance.
 Poka NR : Increase Perception's time by 3 minutes
 Perception NR : If it is needed of course.
]
;B[ah]BL[215]C[
 Perception NR : Thank you.
 Perception NR : Yay!
]
;W[ab]WL[148]C[
 Perception NR : has entered byo-yomi again
]
;B[ig]BL[887]C[
 Poka NR : Are you ready for this?
 Perception NR : For what?
 Perception NR : J4?
]
;W[hd]WL[110]C[
 Perception NR : Oh my god.
 Poka NR : Gets the maximal liberties for the H2 chain.  :-(
 Perception NR : Oops.  Just decided to turn up the global search to 4 ply.
 Perception NR : Thinks it has 15 minutes on the clock to make *5* more moves.
]
;B[if]BL[760]C[
 Poka NR : Poka passed ... time to resign I think.
 Perception NR : OK.  Thanks for putting up this that time hassle.
