[Computer-go] Great Triumph for Zen !

[Lukas van de Wiel]

Dear Hideki,

thank you for the information on the hardware. Such a modest
configuration makes the performance of Zen even more extraordinary!

It makes me curious whether it would be possible for the algorithms to
scale up to say, for example, a 100 CPU cluster and to defeat the
professional human player hands down...

Kind regards
Lukas
