i am going to assume that donated hardware violates the spirit of "the
best hardware under $5000", correct?
My opinion, as referee, is that the hardware must be identical to
hardware for sale, in the normal course of trade, at that price. How
Darren actually gets his hands on it is irrelevant. He can buy it, rent
it, or borrow it.

I can confirm that John was playing a version running on a 4-core 2.2 GHz,

significant changes in strength.
Your best chance would be to get the biggest SMP machine you can. Many
Faces' cluster code is broken, and there is no guarantee I can fix it before
the end of the year.

Subject: [Computer-go] Many Faces vs. Tromp
Seemingly in preparation for the shodan go bet event (being held at the
end of December in central London):
http://www.gokgs.com/gameArchives.jsp?user=tromp&year=2010&month=10
3-1 to Tromp :-(
But better than 4-0 :-)
I think ManyFaces2 is a recent version of the software, running on
4-cores. (ManyFaces1 runs on 12-cores, which is the one with the 2d
ranking [1].)
Incidentally, according to this page, and assuming John is a European
2-dan, then the program needs to be KGS 4-dan to have a 50% chance:
