Players

Three players registered for the Formal division and two for the less demanding Open division. One of the Open division entrants was Tium, a new player to these events, created by the MUC Go computer game Team (小邓).

Results

In round 1, Zen19X did not appear, and lost on time to ManyFaces1. Matilda lost on time to Tium, in a won position.

In round 2, Zen19X was connected in time for the start of its game with gnugo3pt8, which it won. Matilda again lost on time to Tium.

In round 3, matilda lost on time again.

After round 3 I changed gnugo3pt8 to use a faster setting, level 19 instead of level 20.

In round 4, Tium initially failed to join its game with matilda, because it had started a 19x19 game with a human player. When that game ended, Tium joined its tournament game, 3⅓ minutes late. But matilda lost on time again.

In round 5, Tium again failed to join its game with matilda because it was in a game with a human player. It lost its tournament game on time, while still playing the human.

In round 7, Tium again joined its tournament game with only five seconds of its first overtime period remaining. It still achieved a won position, and matilda (with one move to make in one second of overtime) resigned.

In round 13, while I was unable to watch the games, matilda and Tium finished their game with Tium, as White, half a point ahead. The game was scored correctly, but somehow did not end regularly.

In round 14, matilda and Tium finished their game with matilda, as Black, about ten points ahead. It appeared that the players agreed on the score and the counts were displayed, but the game did not end, and matilda reconnected repeatedly. I eventually "killed" the game, allowing the players' round 15 game to start.


ManyFaces1 vs gnugo3pt8
Move 46

In round 18, ManyFaces1 played the marked move in the diagram to the right, in its game with gnugo3pt8. This move on the 1-line is clearly not good, though it did not put its game with a much weaker opponent in danger. ManyFaces1 had been trained using 19×19 games, and not tested on 13×13 boards.
