The Jûrokubango has come to an end.

Over the course of the Jûrokubango (bold section), Black's Initial Self-Play Success Ratio (the blue line in the diagram) stabilised just over 50%.

For a long time, it showed an downward trend, but has now reached the range between 0 and -5 again.

We are looking at a viable solution here !

28b's surplus of won games in the Jûrokubango (the red line in the diagram) has reached the "green" range above -5, while showing a strong upward trend.

28b has therefore mastered this variation just as well as 40b.
