Yes, it is Crazy Stone, running on an 8-core machine. It is playing with the opening book of the commercial version. This book was not designed for strength, but for variety. As black, it should play tengen with about 50% probability, and it also plays various other moves. I thought it would be more pleasant for human players to have some opening variety. bonobot on CGOS, and Crazy Stone on KGS were disconnected recently, because of some maintenance operation on our cluster. I will connect them back as soon as possible. Rémi _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
