The following is the results as provided to Bruce Wilcox, auther of Nemesis, at the conclusion of the Usenix Computer Go Tournament. I find the comments less than informative and the statistics a bit confusing; Bruce was unable to clarify. Anyone else have some information?

These results are all very nice but would any of the participants be willing to give away objects for their programs so that the rest of us might evaluate how well these programs play by actually playing the game with them. Bruce Dautrich npoiv!bad

[Tables deleted.] Rough translation: incomplete: There were several games that the judges ruled incomplete as there were large groups that were neither dead nor alive when both programs stopped playing. ogo suicide: ogo has the interesting habit of filling in its own eyes, except for the last one, of course. nemesis core dumps: in long games, nemesis would run out of an internal resource of some kind (buffers?), and drop core. nemesis quits: Not sure, but I think that nemesis both quit sending moves and didn't drop core in some games. <mike
