I'm also under the impression that Zen stopped throwing away corners.
In a bot tournament that usually means ending up with 3 corners, because currently all bots still undervalue corner plays. It's also true that Zen can now play a "normal" opening without trampling on it's own positions later. Maybe it's really the same thing, because "normal" play implies a greater regard for corners than usually displayed by bots.

Thanks for the report, Nick. And congratulations to Yamato and Hideki! On KGS, now Zen is a solid 4d player in blitz games. Improving Zen's opening play really helps a lot.

Thank you for the report, Nick.

In the platform (hardware) section:
Orego12
Orego, probably running on one of the five nodes of a custom Linux
cluster build by PSSC Labs: the node has two AMD Six Core Dual Opteron
            ^^^^^ built?
2427 2.2 GHz (12 cores total), 8 GB RAM, Centos Linux.

BTW, in the table of the annual championship, a blank box means (1)
absent or (2) couldn't get points.  It could be better to use different
symbols (ex. "-" for absent and "0" for no points).
