That's the most remarkable crosstable I've ever seen (in Shahrokh's link). The players are essentially well-ordered; the top beat everyone, 2nd beat everyone except 1st, 3rd beat everyone except 1 and 2, etc, all the way down. It makes a upper-trianglular matrix. Remarkable.
I used to give 13 stones to ManyFaces on my own PC. I suspect this beast, on that cluster, could give me several. I still give 6 to programs running on just PCs. (3 stones is about knight odds, in chess terms) Peter On 10/4/08, Shahrokh Mortazavi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On a related note, at the same tournament, the cluster version of "Many > Face of Go" has won the Gold medal in both 9X9 and 19X19 categories with no > defeats.
