Would you guess that mogo is 2 or 3 ranks stronger at 19x19 with all this hardware?
I would love to see a fair match, perhaps a serious 2 or 3 dan player at 19x19 to be able to say with some certainty that Mogo has reached the dan levels. This assumes Mogo has reached this level of course. But if Mogo could play a few games against several 3 dan players and hold even - it would be clear evidence that it has broken the Dan barrier. Unfortunately, in order to get strong empirical evidence that it is at least a certain level, it has to overachieve significantly unless a huge number of games are played. I'm really excited about this match, but it will REALLY be exciting if Mogo wins any games at all against such a strong player, even at 9x9. - Don Olivier Teytaud wrote: >> 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.
