Has the program become that much stronger on 9x9 recently?
(Compared to the version was trying?)
*Parallelization: MPI ==> ~80% vs no mpi in 9x9 (for same number of
cores).
*Monte-Carlo improvement ==> strongly depends on number of simulations
and number of cores (as the multi-core reduces the influence of the
computational overhead), ~55% I guess.
*Openings: 58%, for games with constant time per move (should be higher
for games with given total time), if we only keep the openings which
are still efficient in the new version of the code. Human-based
openings do not work :-(
*less interestingly, we have a better hardware than at that time (more
cores, more GHz).
==> no doubt that this mogo is by far stronger than the one at Amsterdam 07.
The improvement is much higher in 19x19, but humans are really too strong
in 19x19 :-)
