Wow! That's quite impressive. In a review on the BGA site ( 
http://www.britgo.org/reviews/mf11rev.html ), the author (who claims to 
also be 1-kyu) says he is able to beat Many Faces v11, even giving it a 
nine-stone handicap. Is the version of MF which played the exhibition 
game that much stronger than version 11? Or is the 13-year old 1-kyu ten 
stones weaker than the BGA 1-kyu?

I don't mean to be disrespectful, I just am wondering how the same 
program can beat one 1-kyu and lose a 9-stone game against another.

Good job to all participants at the Gifu =)
