Also the GnuGoXX 3d (with a nice picture)

Some times ago his info were saying:
"i m the 256th generation of neural network based program
Each generation try new moves and select best ones"

Well, considering 20 years for a human generation, that's 5000 years of
try/select for reaching 3d , this seems correct.

This one is special, it is a prediction, gnugo-256 is planned to be 3d,
but before the team must release #4 so we have to wait a little ;)
