Thanks. >* Do you remember when Zen started to give handicaps >against pro players? Early December or late November, I remember but due to an accident. HC games were prohibited but a young professional could play due to a bug (:-) of the server.

Not special. >> #On even games (more than 2000), its recent winrate is about >> 98%. > >Having this in mind, it makes indeed sense that >Zen gives handicap stones. A professional (director of Japanese national team) told me that two hc games are more interesting and exciting to watch because Zen plays seriously :). BTW, the games between Zen and professionals can be watched any payed members of Nihonkiin. Hideki >Ingo. > >PS. When will AlphaGo start giving handicaps against pro players? In this year, I hope. >_______________________________________________ >Computer-go mailing list >[email protected] >http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go -- Hideki Kato <mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
