popular opponent Steamhammer
When I uploaded Steamhammer 3.5.1 to SCHNAIL, with new weaknesses, the bot lost 200 elo or more and also lost its popularity as a SCHNAIL practice opponent. I guess it’s not as much fun to play an opponent that sometimes plays fine and other times arrays all drones in front of the natural to make sunkens and then has no money to morph them. The bugs are fixed now. Elo is still lagging—elo changes slowly because there are not many ranked games—but Steamhammer’s popularity for practice returned suddenly. The players are getting information from somewhere.
In unrelated news, the name “Leta” is pronounced by some “Leeta”, by some “Layta”, and by some “Lehta” (which I guess is the correct one). In today’s ASL 12 round of 24 group E cast, Nyoken pronounced it all three ways in the space of a minute! Did anybody else notice?
