Dear Ingo, Ingo Althofer: <trinity-e14c760c-96ce-457d-bbee-b42e6ccf3312-1516568318166@3c-app-gmx-bs35>: >Hi Hideki, > >thanks for your posting. > >> On Yugen-no-ma, Nihonkiin's online Go site, many (mainly >> young) professionals have played more than 200 two-hc games >> against Zen and its winrate is greater than 70%, AFICR. > >Very interesting information, and congratulations >to Zen's performance.
Thanks. >* Do you remember when Zen started to give handicaps >against pro players? Early December or late November, I remember but due to an accident. HC games were prohibited but a young professional could play due to a bug (:-) of the server. After that, the manager changed the mind. >* Is that the "normal" Zen version, or one that is >specially tuned for handicap games? Not special. >> #On even games (more than 2000), its recent winrate is about >> 98%. > >Having this in mind, it makes indeed sense that >Zen gives handicap stones. A professional (director of Japanese national team) told me that two hc games are more interesting and exciting to watch because Zen plays seriously :). BTW, the games between Zen and professionals can be watched any payed members of Nihonkiin. Hideki >Ingo. > >PS. When will AlphaGo start giving handicaps against pro players? In this year, I hope. >_______________________________________________ >Computer-go mailing list >Computer-go@computer-go.org >http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go -- Hideki Kato <mailto:hideki_ka...@ybb.ne.jp> _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
