Leela (software)

Summary

Leela is a computer Go software developed by Belgian programmer Gian-Carlo Pascutto,[1][2][3] the author of chess engine Sjeng. It won the third place for 19x19 board Go and the second place for 9x9 board Go at the Computer Olympiad in 2008,[1][4] and won the eighth place in the 1st World AI Go Tournament in August 2017.[5] According to its website, it has "Strength over 9 dan on 19 x 19, depending on hardware". The program was named "Leela" because the author wanted a pleasant female name that contrasted with the prevailing style at the time, typified by names like "Shredder", "Tiger", and "Rebel".
