This isn't really my work! And it isn't Gunnar's either, as far
as I know. My work is in pure mathematics and Gunnar's is in computer
vision. Tanguy, Teun, Inge and Trevor all have their own careers.
I think the closest here to a professional computer Go scientist
is Tristan Cazenave.

Somehow a project takes on a life of its own and you just
do what you have to in order to make it work.
