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 2007/6/14, Magnus Persson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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 _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
