Four players registered. We welcomed a new player, NeuralZ, a DCNN program by Robert Waite. NeuralZ uses only a neural net, and spends no time on move evaluation; it still appears to be about 4-kyu. Robert has explained:
NeuralZ is a variation of the supervised-learning network described in the AlphaGo paper. It uses a convolutional neural network that is fed a view of the board and outputs a list of probabilities that a human would move at a particular position. Humans see a 2d 19x19 board and think about liberties and such. The network receives a 3d 19x19x46 board where each layer has details of the position (such as the last 8 moves, the number of liberties that each stone has, etc).
The network contains 1,771,242 32-bit floats… which is about 7MB of space. It was trained on a single 660gtx for about 4 days on GoGoD Winter (1660-present).. It reached close to 47% accuracy on guessing the one move that a professional human would make on a random board.
It makes terrible tactical mistakes because it does not use any search whatsoever. It simply is fed a board position, makes an evaluation and then takes the most confident move in the ‘greedy’ version which takes about 5ms on the host machine.
Here is a set of heatmaps displaying the network’s view of positions in a game vs. LeelaBot, similar to some of the diagrams in the AlphaGo paper. The heatmaps only display probabilities larger or equal to half a percent. Black-to-play images are what the network would do if it was the opponent, white-to-play will always move at the highest percent spot.

In round 2, ManyFaces1 played the move shown to the right in its game with AyaMC. This makes a second eye for the group, but in ko. Instead a move at t10 or t11 would have made an unconditional second eye.

Some Japanese players consider it impolite to win a game by too large a margin, they deliberately let their opponent catch up in the yose. And sometimes, if the opponent isn't cooperating, he has to be forced to make a good move. In its round 6 game with NeuralZ05, AyaMC did this as shown to the left, eventually winning the game by less than the komi.
