[Computer-go] John got tromped by Zen 1-3

[Jouni Valkonen]

hallo,

I think that this match was huge success, although humanity lost. It
attracted about 300 spectators into each game.

Therefore it would be nice if these kind of gobot challenges would return
at least every now and then. Once in one or two months, best of three
matches and with slow time controls 90min + 10min/25stones. Of course there
is some organizing thing to do by Hideki, Yamato and Rémi (and Aja, if he
finds a strong hardware somewhere). But we could get very nice data how
strong gobots really are against humans with slow time controls.

Now Zen did beat European 2 dan. But can it beat a solid European 3 dan or
equal? Any volunteers?

Zen and CrazyStone may be too weak to challenge strong human 4 or 5 dans
and above, but they are certainly though peaces for smaller dans.

   –Jouni
