Thanks Pasky, but the timing could be the worst :). It took almost 4 years from 6d to 7d. One good thing is that Zen19X is running on not a clsuter but just a dual-Xeon (2 x 12 core) server. The kiblitz asked me about AlphaGo but that's all. Their support for Zen is unchanged at all because, I guess, they can't play with AlphaGo but Zen and either is strong enough for them.

Yes, this version uses DCNN (Yamato's original implementation), which improves the plays in early stages a lot (maybe better global evaluation than the use of B-T model due to the aparture size?) and lets Zen play sicker and less offensive (better compensation of the bias of MoGo-type local-priortized simulations?). This version beats the previous with 80% and is improved more than 200 Elo on CGOS. http://www.yss-aya.com/cgos/19x19/bayes.html where the new version is Zen-10.8-1c (3306) and the previous is Zen-1c-2.8G (3078; ver. 10.4). Either uses one core of an i7 5960X. #Zen-10.8-2c (3505) uses two cores and gets 200 more Elo. #The version runs on KGS is 10.9 which has the number of handcap stones in the input layer but looks almot no effects :(.
