Two copies of TFT?

[marcharper]

Both k92r and ktitfortatc point to axl.TitForTat. Is there a reason that we include both? This means that all_strategies will have two copies of TFT. Just checking that this is intentional.

If I recall correctly all_strategies is just all the strategies in the Fortran collection and then we have https://github.com/Axelrod-Python/axelrod-fortran/blob/master/src/axelrod_fortran/strategies.py#L354 which is second_tournament_strategies and that's the strategies used in the second tournament (so there's only 1 TfT there).

This is how I ran the revisiting code.

The TourExec code that we have was actually the code used to test the strategies for the second tournament rather than the tournament itself. Here's a snippet of the first two lines:

    Program AxTest
c   For  testings of PD tour program.

The 'named' strategies, such as ktitfortat, were part of the testing.

We chose to incorporate all the strategies we could see at the time. (To start with, we didn't even know that K92R was TitForTat).

I see, thanks. Perhaps we should explain this in the readme? I.e this is the test code, if you want to rerun the second tournament use second_tournament_strategies, etc.
