MoGo's just another way to lose...

Actually, MoGo release 3 does lose to GNU Go 3.7.11, the most recent version, every now and then. They seem to be about evenly matched.

A bit more about MoGo

1. Apparently, MoGo plays Chinese rules (only) because that makes calculation easier^†.
   
   
2. MoGo (the black stones) seems to play randomly early in the game...
   
3. Then, unlikely as it seems, MoGo always wins by 0.5 point! (I haven't seen it lose yet... *coff* *choke*)
   

B+0.5!

MoGo release 3 plays Black against GNU Go level 10 with White.

GNU Go parameters were gnugo mode -gtp with default values, in particular level 10.

MoGo is a little touchy to set up on Windows. This game was hosted by SmartGo 2.7.3 in tourney mode. MoGo's parameters were mogo --19 --time 30 --dontDisplay 1 Note that Anders Kierulf's suggestions are only that; on this Compaq notebook, I have to give MoGo 30 seconds per move or it skips directly to random moves. Not that MoGo, a Monte-Carlo UCT algorithm player, doesn't half look random normally ;-)

So far (or maybe forever?) MoGo only plays Chinese rules — set Game Info accordingly! Also note you have to set the board size in Mogo's parameters; it's perfectly happy to play 9x9 on a 19x19 board, but the output is ... strange.
