I don't believe GNU Go has ever won a tournament game against MFG, and I would be surprised if it has caught up. Your results seem to show GNU Go stronger and that seems unlikely. On the other hand GNU Go 3.6 does feel a lot stronger to me -- subjectively. It doesn't whomp 3.4 but it can sometimes beat me in a 9 stone game, which I don't think 3.4 could. It is strong enough to be an interesting opponent sometimes, which is not true of 3.4. Could you post a few of the games?
