Re: [Computer-go] UEC Cup

Thank you for the frequent updates and the pictures. I am most curious to learn why it is that Zen, who usually ends up very high in these competitions, has been defeated by two newcomers in the field. What are Dolbaram and Nomitam doing differently?... Cheers Lukas On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at 9:58

And the hardware available for this tournament was tremendous. It remains to be seen whether the hardware and the people maintaining it would be available for a longer period. The costs of this are not to be underestimated. Who would pay it? Lukas On Sun, Mar 13, 2016 at 12:20 PM, Clark B.

Re: [Computer-go] Would a larger board (25x25) dramatically reduce AlphaGos skill?

It would reduce Alphago, because there is less training material in the form of high-dan-games, to train the policy network. It would also reduce the skill of a human opponent, because (s)he would have less experience on a larger board, just as AlphaGo. It would be fun to see which can adapt

So why not add the amount of points equal to your score? You win by 16.5 points? You get 16.5 points. You lose by 4.5. You lose 4.5 points. At the end of the tournament, there will be contestants with a negative score, but it seems a more straightforward system to me, and the players losing only
