I have the statistics of the CGOS games. After E5, white response is: D7: 25904/53339 (48% win) E6: 5351/19651 (27% win) E7: 7354/17054 (43% win) C6: 5432/16994 (31% win) C7: 4316/11409 (37% win) So, Zen plays D7 now. But of course this is just statistics. The bias by MoGo always playing D7 would be huge. >After E5 E7, there are several moves I've seen from strong engines.

E5, E7, next black move is: D6: 3781/ 5817 (64% win) D7: 2195/ 3378 (64% win) E3: 918/ 1742 (52% win) C6: 863/ 1707 (50% win) C5: 779/ 1418 (54% win) It seems the best move is D6 or D7. -- Yamato _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
