We should somehow integrate the Facebook feature of liking (or disliking) a post onto BGO. It's weird to think we owe thanks to Snowie for trying to milk some more (too much?) out of their product that XG was created.

As for where are humans stronger than XG? Well, assuming we're talking about XGR+, the highest acceptable level of analysis, not many areas. Right now since we're still version 1 and there's no opening book based on rollouts I would happily take a few humans versus XG in this regard. I would also give the edge to the best players in the world when playing real life players who are far weaker than XG. I'm not sure where I'd draw the elo line of bot winning more versus computer winning more, but perhaps a difference of 150 elo?

I also think the bots, even XGR+, still overestimate the side taking the cube in holding games. I'm working from memory but I looked into it at one point and while XGR+ is better than your regular 3 ply it still wasn't hitting the nail on the head. There are some positions that don't arise often where you know the bot is underestimating the gammons and that it will correct itself on a full rollout.
