Evolution of a Go program

About the development of Moyo Go Studio, software to (help) play the Oriental game of Go. Go is a two-player zero-sum game of perfect information. It is considered much harder than Chess. Currently, in spite of enormous effort expended, no computer program plays it above the level of a beginner.

Eureka!

The multiprocessing Fuseki & Pattern module is 99% ready and all CPU's are working to extract data from a collection of SGF files! This image is what I see when four lists of SGF files are simultaneously "Fuseki-harvested". The more processor cores in a customers' machine, the faster the game import process will run. This is a major breakthough in scaleability, something that will provide Moyo Go with a significant competitive advantage in the near future, compared to non-parallel processing competitors.
