1. Introduction

Randyplus is an experimental Go engine. Randyplus was not designed to play well, its purpose is to play random moves. This can be useful when training a neural net based opponent, or just as a measure of how well a Go engine plays, as opposed to pure random play.

Randyplus is a work-in-progress. Even as a random Go engine, there are many features that can be added over time.
