Hello all, two questions.
(i) Do there exist strong 9x9-go programs on Monte-Carlo base
for Japanese rules?
(ii) Having available only programs for Chinese rules, but playing
in a tournament with Japanese rules, which special tricks and
settings should be used to maximise winning chances? (This is meant
especially in the light of MC's tendency to win games by 0.5
points according to the rules implemented.)

Hi Ingo,
The standard trick is to pass as soon as your opponent passes. For this
to work, you need to take a one-point security margin with the komi. You
should also score seki the Japanese way.
That is how Crazy Stone played the UEC Cup and the matches at FIT2008.
In fact, for the UEC cup, Crazy Stone did not understand seki, so I took
a bigger security margin with the komi. But a bigger security margin is
not good for 9x9.
