Hi Hideki,
thanks for your fine translation and all the information.
I will give some comments in between.
> The winning rate of this new version against previous version ("Saikyo
> no Igo 2011") is 78%, stronger about 1 stone.
That sound impressive.
> "Crazy Stone" is a Go playing program, developed by a computer

Just in these days I am finalizing a paper on "history of game tree
search". It starts with Zermelo (and his seminal paper in 1912).
Remi is mentioned in the paper too - for his first MCTS paper (published
in 2007) and for his Gold medal in the 2006 Olympiad.

We need it in Western version, too.

Very nice option. That makes it especially interesting for stronger players
for interactive analysis.

I would have prefered more flexible board sizes (ManyFaces allows all from
5x5 to 19x19; Leela allows all until 38x38(.
But more important would be to have more flexibility with komi and handicap
stones: ManyFaces allows any values from -99 to +999 for komi, and any
number of handicap stones.
Extreme values are helpful when you want to play a game of "kill-all go":
One side gets many handicap stones. The other side is winner when she gets
one living group on the board.
*****************
One question to the Zen team:
Will there be (hopefully still in 2012) a commercial version for the western
people?
Thanks again for you detailled description and translation.
Ingo.
