I'm 44 now... and I try to feel like I'm 34

In my opinion, this match was quite a non-sense after all... the hardware factor seems too important here, and it was completely out of balance.

I don't agree with Kasparov there... Actually I'm really surprised by this statement. In my opinion, this is even a quite reductive vision of the games.

In a way, there are as many criteria as dimensions but at the end (particularly for him) there is only one : "the good move in a context"

Yes I saw about Zen but I'm not interested in 9x9 Go (maybe I should)...

Many faces of Go has one of the strongest engines?? Really?

Hello all,

I didn't hear about computer Go for a while... what's up? Any match between pro players and engines? Any new engines? What level do the best engines play now?

Any fresh news?
