I think your money is safe. I'm not sure if the first milestone has been reached, can Mogo actually beat you under similar conditions in a 9x9 match? I don't mean just to win games, but can it win a long match?
Until you can be beaten pretty consistently at 9x9, I believe there is little chance at the big board. To beat you at 19x19 we will need 2 things: 1. Some serious additional software progress at 19x19. 2. Some serious hardware. Most of the effort should be spent on 1, and then just before the match is scheduled it should be run on the biggest machine available. I'll bet by 2010 big clusters with each cpu having 4 or 8 cores will be common. They will boost the strength of the system enormously. - Don On Fri, 2007-05-25 at 23:33 -0400, John Tromp wrote: > On 5/25/07, Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there some kind of bet on this?
