Hello, my 1,000-Euro prize for a bot that beats the "old" Many Faces of Go (version without Monte Carlo components) at handicap 29 on the 19x19-board ist still open.
When I announced the prize in January 2012, some people were optimistic to catch the money. But no challenger really came up, and from season to season my confidence grows that I will not have to pay the prize. Here are the details: http://www.althofer.de/handicap-29-prize.html Ingo. PS: As a human player, Martin Mueller from our scene had achieved the task in August 1998. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
