I think Tian rang will still be the heavy favourite in April.

btw Ke said he would accept handicaps against Go software if 'go fans want it'.

I've met with some difficulties when trying to improve Ke Jie's and Park Junghwan's wikipedia pages. I think the key problem is there's no established classification system for go tournaments. @WindCaliber

Can anyone offer some advice?

For Zen, is it possible that it calculates the score with Japanese rules whereas this tournament uses Chinese rule? It's very strange for a bot to lose by 0.5!
In the World Go Championship in Japan they said it messed up in the endgame as its value network was trained on Chinese rules/komi but ...
