Hi Petr, Hideki gave already a compact explanation. Let me tell you another few lines.
> Silly question - why not? (Assuming this seems to be the strongest Zen > so far.) Your question is not silly at all, and a full answer would be quite complicated. Currently there are two developZen19Xment lines of Zen: * the traditional one (which runs on normal hardware, and from which for instance the new commercail Zenith-6 stems) and * the heavy-hardware one (project sponsored by Japanese company Dwango). The Zen-Dwango project was initiated in March 2016, just after the Lee-Sedol-AlphaGo match. It is highly ambitious. Zen19X was winner of the KGS bot tournament in July 2016, and it was our original intention that this winner should play against the German champion. ************************************* By the way, it would be interesting to see which other bots have similar problems (like Zen19X) near the end of the round-1 game. Ingo. PS. I hope I did tell things in the right way. In particular, Hideki may feel free to correct me in any point he wants. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
