Right. Especially, by reasons of time I played only very few 19x19 mirror games. Most of my test games (more than 20 against MF, some against Leela) were on 9x9, 11x11, and 13x13. Perhaps (based on casual observation, again) mirror strategy is more difficult for the bots on larger boards. And for Zen I only know the 2 games from KGS. > ...

Agreed. Therefore I really like the test series by Yamato (with 30 out of 100 wins for Zen against mirror strategy) > Can we assume that both programs are approximately equal or is MFGO > clearly stronger (or visa versa?) In "normal" go (on KGS) Zen seems to be ahead of all other programs on moderate hardware. Mirror go seems to be a world of its own... Ingo. -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
