Abstract: This report describes the games played in the context of “The 2010 Invited Games for MOGOTW vs. Human Go Players”, held at the National University of Tainan (NUTN), Taiwan, on March 21, 2010. Twenty-four Go players ranking from 1D(Dan) to 3D were invited to challenge the computer-Go program MOGOTW by playing 9 × 9 games to validate whether MOGOTW has reached the level 1D, 2D, or 3D, based on the amateur Taiwanese scale (see Photo 1). The games results were convincing. MOGOTW won 23 out of 24 games. Therefore, MOGOTW was awarded the 1D, 2D, and 3D certificates by the Taiwanese Go Association at the Haifong Weiqi Academy on April 2, 2010. In the future, the team members of MOGOTW (both in Taiwan and France) will continue to improve the current weaknesses of MOGOTW to let computer Go achieve similar results or better as computer chess and Chinese chess.
