A Jacqueline Go that seems vastly stronger than the last time challenged GNU Go again in the Computer Go ladder, and this time Jacqueline won.
A second game was played with GNU Go's --monte-carlo option, and again Jacqueline won. The small margin is misleading -- UCT players such as Jacqueline (and gnugo --monte-carlo) tend to give up points when they are ahead. Here are the game records.
