I do think some recent work on GNU Go has made it stronger, but there are reasons we do not use the development branch: we want to explore what our changes are doing and we would not be able to separate the effects if we were always changing the underlying engine, so I think it is better if we wait for release versions of GNU Go and let the development team decide when that version is ready.
My claim of being about 2 stones stronger than GNU Go is based upon comparing results against the independent reference of Many Faces of Go. It could also be some quirk that makes SlugGo stronger than GNU Go against Many Faces but not against humans. We will know more as results accumulate.

Our answer so far is that we can get about 2 stones stronger with 16 to 20 CPUs.Hi David, How do you explain that SlugGo has a lower rating than GNU Go on KGS ?
