It was OK. I'm only about 6k, and I slaughtered it pretty badly (32 for black to -47 for white), but it did a respectable job of playing fuseki and there was an exciting semeai that pretty well decided the game.
It filled in some of its own territory to capture a dead group I had in a corner. It's particularly vulnerable to trick moves -- I was able to set up some pretty horrifying ripoffs by throwing a stone in to make a cut and reduce a liberty, which it ignored, and then I could capture from the other side.
It plays joseki reasonably well and does pretty OK with shape. I think if there were a way to train it against tsumego it would get a lot stronger.
It would be kinda neat to be able to download an sgf of the game with it.
edit: this might be fixable: it confuses snapbacks with kos; I set up a snapback in a second game and it wouldn't let me capture the group because it thought the situation was a ko.
edit #2: I played two more quick games, more honte this time, and it killed me pretty badly. It's difficult to keep the game even during the opening and if I don't set up a complicated fight then it wins by a handy margin.
- iopq 11y agoit doesn't actually do any reading, it just plays moves that appear in pro games like for example, it will play out the ladder because a pro would play there since the ladder doesn't work so escaping makes sense however, if it works this loses the game
