Gomocup Schedule, 3rd-5th of May 2019
Due to false-positive virus detection, we temporarily provide the downloads of new and updated AIs in 2019 at this Github repository to avoid the Gomocup website being blocked by Google Safe Browsing. We are working on fixing the issue through a better way.
There will be 4 freestyle groups, 1 fastgame group, 1 standard group, and 1 renju group in Gomocup 2019.
For Freestyle 2, 3, and 4, the top 4 AIs will move up to the next group. If the top k (k>4) places were all taken by new (or updated) AIs in a group, then all these k AIs would advance to the next group.
(The schedule is tentative)

New AI
- Monkey - a Gomoku program developed by Letian Yuan. The Monkey is a very simple C# program which is mainly based on Alpha-Beta pruning algorithm. It can calculate VCF of 100 steps accurately. Monkey supports freestyle rule.
- PentaZen - a Gomoku program developed by Yuliang Sun. PentaZen is written in C and uses classic searching techniques. PentaZen is open source. The source code is on https://github.com/sun-yuliang/PentaZen-Gomocup. PentaZen supports freestyle, standard and renju rules.
- StarDust - a Gomoku program developed by Debing Zhang, Ming Zhang, and Yumeng Wang. StarDust is deep Learning-based AI. StarDust supports freestyle rule.
- Wulin - a Gomoku and Renju program developed by Chao Liu. Wulin is based on minimax search with alpha-beta pruning and a special VCF/VCT algorithm. Wulin supports freestyle, standard and renju rules.
