In the KGS March tournament Zen had hardware glitches. This reminds me to "Hitech", a strong chess bot in the 1980's (by Hans Berliner and Murrwy Campbell). Berliner used the handbuilt machine still in the mid-90's, but it also from time to time had not-replicable bad terminations of searches, resulting in poor play.
Berliner conjectured that that was a consequence of the "worn-out" hardware. Ingo. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@dvandva.org http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
