Hello,

it seems that currently the mails from this list are not
properly distributed, at least I did not receive the two
mails on zombie processes.

Nevertheless, I found them in the archive. Here are some
replies:

Yesterday F J Dickhut won his game in the codecentric
go challenge 2014 five-game match against Crazy Stone,
bringing the score to 3-1, and winning the match.
My congratulations to Franz Dickhut!

Congratulations also from me to Franz-Josef. He fully
deserves the win (and the prize money). It was interesting
to see his learning process: From round to round he
had CrazyStone better under control.


I hope such an event will be held again next year.

It is my intention to organize a similar event in Fall 2015,
with a top German amateur player and a top computer
program.

On the zombie processes: It is sort of a miracle for me
that Remi did not realize the double load quickly.
Normally the bot is showing its simulation count all
the time, and smaller numbers should be recognized
more or less immediately.

I like Nick's proposal for process self control.
At least it should be an option. At other occasions
I perform experiments with CS vs CS on one machine,
and there it would be a catastrophe when one process
would shut down his brothers.

By the way even winning just one game is a great success

Indeed it is. And hopefully the event and my plan to have
another one in Fall 2015 will motivate programmers to
try for success.

One of things Remi might try to implement should be
knowledge about the 1000-year ko (that happened
in round 2 in the upper right corner).

Cheers, Ingo.

Really looking forward to this! Going to be very interesting.

You''ve hinted at some changes being made to Crazystone in the DGoB
forum. Can you put those you know into a list and make public here?
Also, do you know when those changes are going to trickle down into
the commercially available versions?
