Hello, no chance for John Tromp to use such an approach. In that game komi was 0.5, but John has (tonight) play against 7.5. One weird mistake of zen (5d) against a 4d player on kgs, who played mirror till the end except last move, where Zen self-remove liberties on a string, thus breaking

In the last UEC Cup, the Japanese program katsunari played with mirror Go strategy against Zen, Fuego and ManyFaces. katsunari lost all three games. http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/~igo/eng/result_2nd/Zen-katsunari.sgf.html http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/~igo/eng/result_2nd/katsunari-Fuego.sgf.html

I think that the main problem was not winning or losing a mirrored game but the blunder in late endgame by playing suicidal move. Perhaps Zen was losing the game, so this was the reason for the blunder. But if Zen was winning, then it was serious bug and it had nothing to do with the mirroring

I am not talking about that Zen’s “blunder” but simply mentioned in passing about handling mirroring strategy that Yamato and we don’t want to spend time with. For this game, you should be strong enough to judge Zen was winning or not. Aja From: Jouni Valkonen Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012

hallo, I think that this match was huge success, although humanity lost. It attracted about 300 spectators into each game. Therefore it would be nice if these kind of gobot challenges would return at least every now and then. Once in one or two months, best of three matches and with slow time
