Congratulations! Both for the gold, and for defeating Mogo. I never
thought I'd see the day that the Go tournaments would bring heavier
hardware than the chess championship!
I was surprised to hear that there were now only thirteen entrants.
Why did Prof. Chen withdraw Go Intellect? Have you heard any more
info about why CrazyStone and other commercial authors did not
participate this year?
Also, where is GNU Go? They volunteered to round up to an even number
of players if required.
I would also like to hear more of the story behind Yogo. It seems to
be the cream of the crop of the Chinese programs.

Thanks. Mogo had already finished when Many Faces and
Streenvreeter played
our last game. I had to win it to win the tournament, and it was a
very
exciting game with a huge semeai. It was complex enough I have no
idea
which program made the final mistake. For quite some time I
thought Many
Faces was going to lose. Stv was looking 45 ply PV, and I was
looking about
26 ply. I was doing about 40 million playouts per move on 32 Xeon
processors and he had eight cores. The sgf is attached, since it
doesn’t
seem to be on-line.
The 19x19 tournament has 13 participants so it will be a round
robin. Today
Many Faces beat Mogo in 19x19, in a game where both programs made big
mistakes. Luckily for me, Mogo's mistake was later. Tomorrow is a
day off,
and play continues on Friday.
