Quoting Tung To <[email protected]>:

  Hello,

  I am the author of ToGo. It is as you can tell a MCTS program with a
playout based on 3x3 pattern and a lot of hand-written Go knowledge. I
stole many ideas discussed on this list and added some of my own. There
are still many things I want to try but unfortunately I am too busy
with my new job. Valkyria has been my main secret target for almost
year but it looks more and more hopelessly for ToGo recently :(

  Thank you all,
  Tung To


Hi Tung,

when ToGo became strong Valkyria had some really interesting games against it and I had to explore at lot of new moves for the opening library which the current version now uses. Also I see that you only uses 1 core for the current version on CGOS and that I find impressive.

Hi all!

The last days there has been some increased activity on CGOS 9x9.
MyGoFriend is back and shows it is really strong. I am playing with
Valkyria using the opening library developed for the Kanazawa
tournament. It is not so helpful yet against MyGoFriend as it plays
different line than what I was prepared for.

Furthermore other mysterious programs has appeared such as Ghosper and
Kaesebrot. At least one of those I think is Mogo given the way it plays
the opening. They have not so high rankings yet, maybe because of bugs
that makes them lost against very weak programs. They are doing very
well against Valkyria and MyGofriend.

Right now a strong version of ToGo is playing. So it would be fun to the
same kind of activity there was on 19x19 CGOS some time ago.

I am also sure the programmers of those unknown programs read this and
it would be really nice to have a presentation of the programs here on
the list too :-) You do not have to tell all the secrets!

Best
Magnus
