c) There was one non-blitz game (45 minutes per side). MoGo was unlucky
as it was black, but it nonetheless won the game. This game is enclosed.
All games can be found on KGS (account nutngo)
Congratulations.
b) MoGo already won a game as black, against Catalin Taranu, but I guess
the pro, at that time, had played an original opening somehow for fun
(I'm not sure of that, however).
c) My feeling is that blitz games are not favorable to computers... Statistics
are in accordance with this I guess. Humans are stronger for short time
settings.
I just can't believe the general statement that computers scale better than
humans on time.
Tripling the number of playouts surely won't do much for the program.
So if it's supposed to help, it means that the extra time will do practically
nothing(or worse) for the human.
I'm willing to concede, that that might have exactly been the case.
The pro had allready won the shorter games and was probably inflicted by the
same momentary imbalance as Catalin. That's actually very human. The bots have
to earn their respect.
Also, in serious future showdowns, there will have to be regenerative pauses
between the games.
