I have done some experiments. Zen won 30/100 games against a mechanical mirror-go program without any anti-mirror code. The 2 continuous losses were not unlikely, but I think there is no proof that Zen was far weaker against mirror-go than other programs. -- Yamato _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
