Darren and John,  

Does that bet apply only to 19x19 boards?  I suspect that John's money
is safe even for 9x9 Go, but at least this might have some chance of
being interesting.

   I've been working on a program on and off for a bit over 11 years. Working
   title is "ago" (I didn't want to scroll down in directory lists).

   I've been through a number of ideas, including most of the crazier ones that
   people come up with on this list, and am mostly settled on using a very big
   pattern database that uses tactical search to enrich the patterns, and then
   doing very deep, almost un-branching global search to get to the end of the
   game and get an accurate evaluation.

   The past few years I've been focused on solving 9x9, from the endgame back.
   I have little intention of releasing anything, or playing on servers, until
   I'm much closer to that goal.
