In order to promote computer Go and stimulate further development and research in the field, the event activities, Computational Intelligence Forum and World 9times9 Computer Go Championship, were held in Taiwan. This study focuses on the invited games played in the tournament Taiwanese Go players versus the computer program MoGo held at the National University of Tainan (NUTN), Tainan, Taiwan. Several Taiwanese Go players, including one 9-Dan (9D) professional Go player and eight amateur Go…
