Hi Don,

I'd bet on Mogo. In case nobody noticed, Crazy Stone won a match against 
KCC Igo this summer, with 15 wins and 4 losses. The match was organized 
by Hiroshi Yamashita. The games can be found in the KGS archives.

If I remember correctly, Many Faces is a global searcher. Maybe KCC is 
too. It seems to me that global searchers have a lot of difficulty 
against Monte-Carlo search. That is the impression I got when watching 
Crazy Stone play against the experimental version of Many Faces. The 
real Many Faces would have to be tremendously stronger in order to have 
a chance against Mogo or Crazy Stone.

I'd connect Crazy Stone to CGOS if Many Faces is there.
