Congratulations.
Have you noticed you are posting on a Go mailing list?

> How strong is your go program?

How strong is your Go program?
Don't compare apples with pears.
The strongest Go program is very bad.


> The problem of automatic patterns is the poor *quality* of the patterns.


Perhaps when you make an automatic pattern harvester.
Not when I make one.
You have religious convictions on my pattern matcher whilst I have the hard
data to back it up.
The highest pro-prediction values in the business.

Jealous?

If my grandmother would have had a dick, it would have been my grandfather.
Why is my system able to predict most moves in "Mr. Popo vs. GoMonster" when
trhe quality of the patterns is 30 kyu, hm, wiseguy?

That you managed to make a strong chess program means nothing.
Give me a break. Chess is a simple game. Any punk with a PC can make a
strong chess program.


> So far no one succeeded in making an automatic system just capable of
that.

I have made such a system. Telling people they are liars on your religious
conviction that nobody can be as clever as you are is just plain silly. I
notice that only the Dutch are as rude as that, so far, here.
So far you have proven to be an obnoxious punk with exactly zero knowledge
about patterns in Go.

As a matter of fact I have done a lot of work on facial recognition.
Not the actual recognition of who the face belongs to, but very quickly
isolating a face from any envinonment, also in worst-case scenario's.

Religious conviction.
I simply look for everything and keep what occurs most.
My results prove I was successful.

Can't handle it?

Congratulations.
I couldn't care less what those pathetic little stupid programs do.
Chess is not Go and Go is not chess.
So you made a strong chess program.
Don't be too proud of it.
Compared to Go, chess is like Tic-Tac-Toe.
I am not impressed.

Show me your strong Go program when you're so clever, telling others that
their stuff stinks :)
If you want to play with the big bous in comp. Go, show us your results.
A big mouth buys you no credibility.

Chess is not Go.
Chess is Tic-Tac-Toe. Nothing. Trivial compared to Go.

Nonsenseical religious statement.
Of course automatic patterns are much better than hand-coded.
Can you hand-code 8 million patterns and estimate how much each is worth?

In Go?
Better than my system?
Don't make yourself ridiculous.
Stick to chess.


> And yes every part in the space shuttle was designed by hand too.

Nonsense.
The airodynamic parts and the parts that endure stress are designed by
simulators that DICTATE how parts should look based on Finite Element
Analysis. So every part that matters is designed by computer. DICTATED how
it should be by software-driven analysis.
Your universe is not much bigger than your chess engine.


> Some very good patterns were set negative instead of positive.

So?
Because some chess programmers did something you didnæt agree with, my
system does not work?
My results prove it does work.
