Yesterday F J Dickhut won his game in the "codecentric go challenge
2014" five-game match against Crazy Stone, bringing the score to 3-1,
and winning the match. My congratulations to Franz Dickhut! I hope
such an event will be held again next year.
I have just read a posting by 'leichtloeslich' at

I have come across a similar problem before. In the 2010 European Go
Congress, I was sent a copy of Leela to operate. It had a few
disconnects (after which I simply restarted it), but did badly, losing
all its games. At the end of the event, when I shut down the machine it
had been using, I found multiple copies of Leela running, which
would all have been competing for resources.
I wonder how practicable it would be for a bot, on startup, to search
for other copies of itself running, and issue a warning if it finds any.
