I did a quick study of rz-74 and when playing BLACK against gnugo we get
mostly very close scores, indicative of Monte Carlo:
20 B+1.5
7 B+3.5
1 B+5.5
1 B+Illegal
4 B+Resign
1 W+Resign
1 W+Time
Results when playing WHITE against Gnugo-3.7.10*
2 B+Resign
1 B+Time
21 W+0.5
1 W+14.5
6 W+2.5
2 W+4.5
4 W+Resign
The results makes me think this is a Monte Carlo program which I guess
is no surprise.
Ok, let me do a statistical analysis of the moves and see which known
program it plays most like and we can figure out the author ... just
kidding :-)
