I suspect That Western AI will shock the go world long before Western players do. I would love to be wrong.
Yesterday, Zen, a Japanese program, is the first bot to enter GoKGS top 100 player (in Blitz time setting though).
I still believe that AI that will shock the world will come from Western side, either Google's Deepmind (UK) or Crazy Stone (France) (does Facebook's Darkforest count? Cause its programmers are Chinese)
I realized that talking about AI in this thread is very off-topic, so please accept my apology :blackeye:
