That was my question as well, and if you ask Wu (the creator of connect-6) the same question he would give exactly the same answer "Amigo (or HappyGo) is still a rather old and weak program". :) Recently Amigo successfully scaled up to multiple threads. And that is not only few threads, but hundreds of threads realized by a quite recent technique (or an old one resurrected with a different name?) so called cloud computing which is to distribute different processes (even threads?) to many different nodes, kind of similar to cluster computing. To myself, Amigo is strongly announcing to the whole computer Go community that the era of cloud computing is coming. many details are still not clear, but we can optimistically expect the report of the competition or their coming papers (or the main author Ting-Fu Liao's master thesis http://java.csie.nctu.edu.tw/~tfliao/).
