Dear Ingo and others, I'd like to note that Zen19A limits the handicap upto 4 stones instead of usual 6. This is the reason the account is not Zen19 but Zen19A. #It's weill known that MC bots are not good at (high) handicap games.
Best, Hideki Ingo Althofer: <trinity-dc26271f-287f-4ae8-9d4a-e45ffc26e4bc-1466492847498@3capp-gmx-bs06>: >Hi, > >for the first time there is a bot with "stable" 8-dan rank on KGS: >Zen19A, an alternative Zen account. > >http://www.gokgs.com/gameArchives.jsp?user=zen19a > >Congratulations to the Zen team! > >And an observation: >Already several games against human players with 8-dan >or 9-dan rank have been played by Zen19A in the last >12 hours. > >Likely, opponents in this strong range will help the >programmers to improve their brainchild further. > >Ingo. >_______________________________________________ >Computer-go mailing list >Computer-go@computer-go.org >http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go -- Hideki Kato <mailto:hideki_ka...@ybb.ne.jp> _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
