I am the author of the open source Palm program Go81. I read that Ogo
level 4 wins Go81 often, but Go81 level 2 seems to be both faster and
stronger than Ogo level 1 on 9x9. I just made a gtp-interface version of
Go81 so now I have a motivation to make it slower/smarter. (My 4-year-old
Palm IIIc can't handle much more.) Go81 has a close resemblance
(nonintended) to the recent Monte Carlo work by Bruno Bouzy.

I am also writing a PhD thesis on probabilistic machine learning.
