[Computer-go] Beating old ManyFaces at 29 handicap stones

["Ingo Althöfer"]

In August 1998, during the US Go Congress, Martin Mueller (5-d)
and "Many Faces of Go" (without any Monte Carlo knowledge in
those days) played an exhibition game. The bot had 29
handicap stones, but Martin beat it.

Recently, dynamic komi helped Monte Carlo bots to play better
in handicap situations. Now I set up a prize for the programmer
of a bot that beats the old ManyFaces at 29 handicap stones: 
1,000 Euro for the first bot that achieves this at least three 
times in a five games match. The offer ends on December 31, 2020.
Details will be clarified in a forthcoming website.

David Fotland is willing to provide the old bot - also for sparring 
sessions on KGS. 

Ingo.
