computer-go: 13x13 CGoT (10)

[stefanmertin@xxxxxxxxxxx (Stefan Mertin)]

Hi all, 

my 13x13 computer go tournament is nearly coming to the end, 
I just updated my page with the results including the games of GOSTAR.

For all the gamefiles and more details 
please have a look at: 
www.geocities.com/comp_go/13x13.html 

I will soon publish the final results of this tournament including 
the games of two very new programs: SMARTGO and DARIUSH.
I´ll then offer my 13x13 rating list of 21 programs,
each of them having played at least 42 games.

I could think of playing some more games with newer versions: 
GNUGO 3.2 is much stronger than the 3.0 version,
GOAHEAD also has improved a lot and there are newer versions
of some other programs that perhaps could do better 
than the older ones from last year.

But the 13x13 tournament was not planed to be continued endlessly.
I have made a lot of experiences with it and have some good new ideas for
the now coming 19x19-tournament, which will be an open tournament like
the ladder: with new programs and newer versions every year and with as 
many games played as possible, perhaps even with handicap games as well
and possibly also with human-computer games! 
I allready start playing for it ...


Stefan
