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

[Aja Huang]

No, the first game was finished without playing a move. I kept playing pass 
and at one pass ManyFaces played pass well. Then the game was scored 
immediately as Black having the whole board, B+327.5.

Oops, that was the fourth try - the one with the 29.5 point loss.

  Awesome attempt!
  285 at R8 and you would have crushed it in the first try.

    mfgo1998 is up on kgs if anyone wants to try it.  To get a big handicap, 
set
    up a 9 stone game and pass until you get up to 29 stones in the same 
pattern
    as Martin's game.
