[computer-go] Binary release of MoGo

[compgo123 at aol.com]

Thanks, Sylvain. This is tremendous, because MoGo pretty much represents the state of art and the most recent advance in computer Go, which is a leap compared to past many years of efforts. Not only UCT improved the playing level, it also opened people's mind. It demonstrated the possibility of significant (not marginal) improvement of the search algorithm, and in many other aspects of the computer Go as well.

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce a binary release of current version of MoGo.
It is specially designed for players but of course it may be
interesting for some of you as a benchmark.
You download it and see the instructions there:
http://www.lri.fr/~gelly/MoGo.htm

Of course, please feel free to talk of it around you, share the link,
and put the link on your webpage :). Please distribute the link but
not the package directly, so that I keep track of the distribution,
and maybe put some fixes, so that people always get the latest
version.

Unfortunately, only the linux version is available (for the moment?).
I wanted to wait for the windows version to be available at the same
time, but it is 2 times slower than the linux version(!!), so I
decided not to distribute it for the moment. I use cygwin for that,
and maybe the reason is that cygwin has only gcc 3.4.2, and which
produce a much slower binary. If anyone has a solution, I would be
pleased to put the windows version as soon as possible.

I would also take this occasion to say "goodbye" to you all, and thank
you for all the discussions. I now finished (and almost defended :))
my PhD, and my work on MoGo is finished. So it is very likely that I
will not make any further contribution to MoGo. I would like to say
that I spent a very good year in the computer Go community, with of course a
warm special thank to Yizao. Of course, I will follow the future
discussions on this list with pleasure.

Best,
Sylvain
