Congratulations, Remi! I just returned from FIT2008. This was first official professional vs. computer game in Japan. I added some comments in sgf. These game comments are stated by O Meien professional 9dan.
Aoba 4dan's comment after game. "My guess was soft was strong, but something is different." "I think I played well partially, upper left and right side." "I think it is even game when I get one stone on bottom." "Crazy Stone played yose correctly, amateur 5dan level." Tei Meikou pro 9dan said, "Crazy Stone is much stronger than last year's UEC cup." After this game, O Meien 9dan played with Crazy Stone on 9x9. Komi was 0.5 and Meien 9dan played White. Crazy Stone won. This was very exciting game. I put some photos. http://www.yss-aya.com/photo/20080904fit/index01.html FIT2008 Computer Go Frontier (in Japanese) https://secure1.gakkai-web.net/gakkai/fit/program/html/event/event.html#6 Aoba Kaori 4dan http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player/htm/ki000343.htm O Meien 9dan http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player/htm/ki000066.htm (;FF[3]GM[1]SZ[19]HA[8] PB[Crazy Stone] PW[Aoba Kaori] DT[2008-09-04] RE[B+R] KM[0.5] RU[Japanese]PC[Keio University, Shonan-Fujisawa, Kanagawa Japan]EV[FIT2008] AB[dd][jd][pd][dj][pj][dp][jp][pp] ;W[dm];B[gk];W[gp];B[gn];W[eo];B[ep];W[fo];B[jn];W[dg];B[fg] ;W[cd];B[cc];W[de];B[ce];W[bd];B[ee];W[df];B[ec];W[bc];B[nd] ;W[qn];B[on];W[om];B[nm];W[ol];B[nl];W[ok];B[mi];W[nk];B[mk] ;W[nn];B[pn];W[mj];B[lj];W[ml];B[nj];W[mm]C[Tortoise shell is worth 60 points.
