Hi Magnus,

Congratulations to Steenvreeter.

Thank you for your analysis. Did you looked at the first game
Steenvreeter-MoGo (MoGo was white)?
I wonder, because MoGo was really happy, estimation always increased, up to
81%, then in one move dropped to less 50%, and MoGo eventually lost. I
wonder if MoGo did a blunder, or simply that it evaluated badly the position
for some reason.
In the second game, it increased exactly in the same way, but continued to
increase to a win this time ;-).

Cheers,
Sylvain

Congratulations to Steenvreeter!

I looked at the games against MoGo and Crazystone to see what this
engine might
do. But it is really hard since most moves played by the top programs
are quite
good.

In the second game against CrazyStone it played like a weak MC-program in
the
opening - playing all moves in the center and allowing Crazystone as white
to
make two rock solid groups which in my experience should be an easy win
for
white. But Crazystone then played some slow moves and made a tactical
blunder
when Crazystone ignored a forcing move by playing a forcing move which
Steenvreeter defended against with a third forcing move threatening to
kill a
group so Crazystone ended up having to reply to two large threats and
collapsed.

My impression is that Steenvreeter is a MC-program because it sometimes
played
moves that I find typical of MC-programs, but that it uses some very good
tactics and L&D reading in the playouts. It played very strong in all
tactical
situations as far as I could see in a quick overview. Or perhaps it is
a hybrid
of a strong tactics engine and MC. Just a guess.

Will we see Steenvreeter on CGOS soon or has it already played there with
a
different name?

-Magnus
