I have seen mistakes. I have been using Dueller to play matches between
the two programs, and have had both programs analzye the matches. Snowie
has highlifghted a few mistakes which were confirmed by both programs
subsequently. I'd have to find them now, but I can definitely comfirm
that GNU has made mistakes, however few.
Just to reclarify, this wasn't the fruit of a discussion at GoL, but
from a talk I had with him at GG.
