Thanks for the report. I'm confused by the commentary of round 4, since pachi was playing black (desperately) and white made the tenuki 38, which was to the top left, not right. :-) However, at that point in the game both players seemed to agree that white's lead is so unshakeable that defending this corner is the best course; the capture of the central black group was too big. (It is still interesting that I seem to hit a weak spot of Fuego, also defeating it in the previous tournament and if I implemented emergency byoyomi mode, defeating it again in this tournament's last game... On the other hand, Fuego was great inspiration in choice of which techniques to implement and how to implement some heuristics.) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis A lot of people have my books on their bookshelves.
