Hello in the round, it seems that Chinese company Tencent with their Go project FineArt has achieved a fantastic breakthrough: According to the website of the International Go Federation the new version of FineArt has played 34 handicap games against pro players, winning 30 of the games. Special achievement: One of the human opponents was human superstar Ke Jie (9p). He resigned his game after 77 moves.

Perhaps Tencent is willing to give Deepmind a match on equal terms (between FineArt and AlphaGo), when AlphaGo also has beaten Ke Jie (or some other top player) with handicap stones. PS-2. It might be interesting to see if a team FineArt/DeepZen/AlphaGo would beat a top human trio (like KeJie/LeeSedol/Iyama) in "RenGo", giving handicap. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
