UEC cup article appeared Mainichi evening paper December 13 in Japan. Some quotes are as follows.
--------------------------------------------------------------- Monte-Carlo Go dominates computer Go world. MC based program are 10 programs out of 27. Top five are all MC based programs except Katsunari. Katsunari went to final. Katsunari's author, Shinichi Sei said "It is classical program. I have taught Joseki, Fuseki and Shapes." Professional 9 dan Tei Meikou commented on final Katsunari vs. Crazy Stone. Move 2,4,6: M16,D5,D8 "White first 3 moves are 10kyu player's move." "Maybe he does not have opening book." "Black is ahead in opening." Move 39-: L7 ... "White aim is black's natural death." Move 86: White P2 and R2, "Almost professional move." Total comment: "White strength is unstable, but it has at least one dan."

Aya is not classical, but MC based. (I rewrote recently.) Aya lost because he did not understand right bottom semeai. Even game finished, Aya thought he was winning. Aya uses 3x3 pattern in MC playout, and black T5 and T6 probability are low. So white always wins this semeai.
