Japanese rusults are at http://jsb.cs.uec.ac.jp/~igo/result2.html and English version will available soon. Crazy Stone (CS) lost the first game due to a wrong ko setting. The opponent of CS played a superko violation which was legal under Japanese rules, and CS lost the game by a faul. Katsunari was the second strongest in the same block as CS*, lost only the final match against KCC, and got second position. Zen lost the semi-final against KCC. The game was very close but Zen wrongly evaluated ko positions and resigned near the end (said 2.5 pt behind). Many Faces of Go (MFG) lost the second game of the tournament against KCC, won all other games, and got 5th. Aya lost the first game against KCC. * CS's block contained CS, Katsunari, Nomitan, Gogataki, Shikosakugo, Rock, Kiseki and Galileo. MFG's block contained MFG, Zen, KCC, Kinoa Igo, Erica, Aya, boon and Kerberos. Exhibition matches: (1) Zen (B) vs Kaori Aoba 4p with 6 stones handicap: Zen lead 10 to 30 points from the begining. All audience believed Zen would win but Zen lost a ko near the end so the game. (2) KCC (B) vs Cheng Ming Huang (Meiko Tei in Japanese) 9p with 6 stones handicap: White won the game with no trouble. Extra (unofficial) games: Zen and CS played an extra match in the lunch break and Zen won. Aya and MFG also had an extra match but the result is not in my hand now. Hardware info (part): KCC used an 8-core (16 threads) Xeon pc (MacPro, I guess) and a 4-core (8 threads) i7 PC (Dell). The operator knew almost nothing about the software architecture. Zen used 32 x 4 x 4 (512 total) cores. Crazy Stone and Many Faces of Go used 8-core loan pc. Erica used an 8-core pc. Katsunari (classical) used a laptop.
