In the table above,
   0 is a loss
   1 is a win
   J is jigo
   left superscript is the player's colour
   right superscript is the round in which the game was played
   a subscript shows how the result was determined:
      R for resignation
      T for time
      F for forfeit
      a number for the points difference after counting.
All the 0s, 1s and Js are links to the game record.

Black won 68 games, White won 72, and there were 3 jigoes.

Seven players registered. To make the numbers even and avoid byes, I included GNU Go, running on a single processor.

Results

This was an exciting tournament. Several programs were serious contenders for first place until near the end.

In round 1, CrazyStone was having problems, and was temporarily running on its operator's laptop and using the wrong settings. It joined its game with stv with only 100 seconds left on its clock, and lost the game.

In round 2, CrazyStone was still running on its operator's laptop with the wrong settings. It joined its game with NiceGo19N with 185 seconds left on its clock, and won.

In round 3 CrazyStone was running correctly on its 24-core server, and beat Zen19S.

Before round 4, Zen19S's operator changed its opening book.


MCark vs gnugo3pt8 Move 58

In round 6 MCark, with only 8 seconds left on its clock against gnugo3pt8, played move 58 in the position shown to the right. If instead it had played at a4, or passed, it would have won the game. But after the move shown, the game continued for another 8 (pointless) moves, then both players passed. Gnugo3pt8 marked the dead stones correctly, and if MCark had agreed it would have won. But it mismarked its own dead stones as alive, and the game entered the clean-up phase, during which it lost on time.

In round 11, Zen19S connected late, with only 80 seconds left, for its game with CrazyStone. It immediately disconnected again, and lost on time.

In rounds 12 and 13, Zen19S was present throughout its games with MCark and gnugo3pt8, and won both.

In round 14, Zen19S was absent throughout its game with stv, and lost on time.


stv vs CrazyStone Move 37

In round 17, CrazyStone played move 37 against stv as shown to the left. This cannot be a good move. Admittedly, it is going to lose whatever it does.


Fuego9 vs CrazyStone Move 35

In round 18, CrazyStone played move 35 against Fuego9 as shown to the right. c2 must be a better move, though Black's position is probably still hopeless
