MyGoFriend plays 19x19!!
At the 16th Computer Olympiad MyGoFriend played his first international tournament against the best teams in the world.
First we had a tense battle with Gomorra (3d). Due to our technical problems we lost almost 20 of the available 45 minutes. Nevertheless the game was close for a long time but in the end Gomorra was the winner.
We won the next two games against RandomGo and Nomitan which were our first 19x19 wins in an international tournament.
Most interesting was the following game versus Fuego. Ajahuang (6d) who is also the programmer of Erica (Goldmedalist 19x19 Go in 2010) commented: “this game was in most time quite EVEN”.
As this was our first appearance on the big board we are quite pleased.
Next day we have to play against the top teams
like Zen, Pachi and Steenvreter. We expect entertaining games.
