Hello Michael, Lukasz,

Yes, they are. Everybody (with internet access) can
see and replay the games.

For instance, the games of Lukasz Lew can be found at
http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/info/player_game_list.jsp?gtid=havannah&plid=16210
On that page you have to click a number in the leftmost
coloum to get to the notation of the game from that row.
To find all games of a certain player, you simply have to
enter his name in
http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/info/player_list.jsp

In Havannah, there are not many bots. And, in the meantime
the programmers have marked their profiles accordingly.

That has happened in some games by TOBRT. You should discuss your 
complaint in the LG (Hex & Havannah) forum - for instance by including
the message that in computer go it is "normal" that MCTS-bots resign
against humans when their "evaluation" is below something like
25 percent. You may also include a comment that on large boards
it may take a bot very long to "understand" that their position
may be lost - and that in such situations the programmer is
encouraged to resign on behalf of the bot.

It is, but on Little Golem this "delay problem" comes in the 
majority of cases from undisciplined human players.

Again: make a proposal on this in the LG forum.

Ingo.

PS: Perhaps your negative view is a consequence of the doubtful honour
that you were the first really strong player who lost to a bot on
Havannah board of size 8. I think the "funny" final position of that 
game will become part of the history of Havannah
