Are you saying that Go++ is playing both worse and substantially
slower than GNU Go in the endgame? That's certainly encouraging and
shows that the work put into the endgame by a number of people has
paid off.

No question about that. Strategical understanding is known to be a
weak spot of GNU Go currently.

Thanks for doing these tests. It would be nice if you could also post
a couple of sample games.
