Dear Ingo and others,

I'd like to note that Zen19A limits the handicap upto 4 stones 
instead of usual 6.  This is the reason the account is not Zen19 
but Zen19A.  #It's weill known that MC bots are not good at 
(high) handicap games.

Best, Hideki

[Computer-go] KGS 8-dan and strong opponents

2016-06-21 Thread Ingo Althöfer
Hi,

for the first time there is a bot with "stable" 8-dan rank on KGS:
Zen19A, an alternative Zen account.

http://www.gokgs.com/gameArchives.jsp?user=zen19a

Congratulations to the Zen team! 

And an observation:
Already several games against human players with 8-dan 
or 9-dan rank have been played by Zen19A in the last 
12 hours.

Likely, opponents in this strong range will help the
programmers to improve their brainchild further. 

Ingo.
