I heard someone say that Yogo has a very strong 9x9 opening book prepared by a professional. I was lucky enough to avoid playing them. MayFaces in 9x9 has no opening book at all other than "play the first move on 5-5".

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.
