Hi Hiroshi, > I made a graph of KGS highest rank Bot. > http://www.yss-aya.com/kgs_botrank.png

Perhaps I am blind, but I do not see X-day, even not before 2020. > date rank soft > 2006/11 6k GnuGo (KCC and Handtalk are maybe 4k.) Mentioning Handtalk is ok, but KCC was an illegal Handtalk clone. So you should NOT mention it. > http://senseis.xmp.net/?KGSBotRatings The ranks you mention are from KGS. Is there something like a KGS World Championship, let it be with or without prize money? Winning such an online championship might be easier for a bot then winning "over the board". Just by blind cents. Ingo PS, seriously: I like that we have in our community both optimists and pessimists. -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
