Now I made some autoplay tests, starting from the end position
given in the appendix of this mail.
* one game with Leela 3.16; Black won.
* four games with MFoG 12.016; two wins each for Black and White.
So there is some indiciation that the Great Wall works even
for bots, who are not affected by psychology.

Have you tried some random Setup for the first 5 stones from Black and compared the results?

Yes, with MFoG: first 5 moves by Black on random points - vs -
first 4 moves by White on the 4,4-points.

Result was clear advantage for White.

So you tested just one game!?

If there's no significant difference, I can't see the point in your question.

So, now you should see the point ;-)

I see disappearing my illusion, that no professor would consider this to have any statistical relevance, let alone significance.

FYI, I have seen variations of the "great wall" played many times, usually by my Chinese friends. I have seen large knight moves, small knight moves, one-space jumps, and combinations of these moves. It is always white that plays this way, and it's a teaching game, the object being to demonstrate to the weaker player the truth of the saying "who controls the center wins the game". They would never play this way in an even game, making the moves in the center at the start of the game to play the great wall pattern is considered the same as giving handicap.
