There are now two versions of Many Faces running, mfgo12-634-4c is from March 2010, and has about 2500 rating. mfgo12c-719-250p has a minor improvement from the Olympiad last week, and is beating -634 about 85%.
Zengg-2x4c is from December 2009, and also has about 2500 rating. A new zen, zen-6.3-6c-test is also running and it also beats the old mfgo12 about 80% of the time. So far the new mfgo looks a little stronger than the new zen, but the new mfgo is running on 12 cores. The latest fuego just joined, and a new Valkria is also playing. Do any other programs want to join the fun? I expect the latest zen and latest mfgo to get bayeselo ratings over 2900. They are 2 dan or 3 dan on kgs, and it looks like it takes about 80% win rate to get one rank on kgs. This means that at the dan levels, one rank is about 300 ELO. Since the current programs are about 6 or 7 stones below a weak pro on 19x19, this means that pro rating on CGOS would be over 4500, and 9 dan pro would be around 5000 ELO. So we have a very long way to go. David _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
