Hello everybody, thanks to Nick for organozing the tournaments and for providung the reports. Thanks to the top scorers Zen and Aya for participation and for showing their strong Go.
Thanks also to ManyFaces and Leela for participating! Eight years ago both were the surprise winners in the Computer Olympiad (2008, Beijing). The favorite for Gold had been MoGo, but like a phoenix from the ashes ManyFaces rose and took Gold both on 19x19 and 9x9. And Leela gave MoGo a hard fight, catching Bronze in one discipline and Silver in the other (do not remember exactly, in which one). That tournament in Beijing triggered my reentry in the computer Go scene. A few months before (in May 2008) a free Leela version had been distributed. I tried it on 9x9 and played a single test game: My impression was: very weird style, including weak play in the final phase of the game. Although I lost by half a point, my impression was: I am way stronger than this bot. What a wrong impression... Ingo. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
