Hi Nick,
thanks for organising this fantastic event.
Question: Did some of the bots use opening book learning?
I know that Zen did, because Hideki Kato asked my permission
to change its opening book after round 3. As for the others,
you will have to ask their programmers. I would also be
interested to know which of them ponder.
No, Zen does no book learning. The reason I asked that was simple.
Just trying another, 4-4 instead of popular 5-5, opening.
A pedant might argue that a 1-move opening book is still
an opening book.
There is a continuum from pure MC programs, which
evaluate all 81 possible opening moves before choosing
one, to programs with extensive opening books. I accept
that Zen is very near the beginning of this continuum.

(In
general, entrants may change the state of their program
during
a tournament, so long as this is not done in response
to
the state of an ongoing game or to the identity of the
expected
next opponent.)
