Only the first four are placed. Aya and Many Faces of Go share the same win and loss counts but Aya won their game and so placed third.
An interesting point of this 13x13 Go tournament was the participation of the human players. Professor Marumatsu is a KGS 5d player. The games he played with Zen, Erica, Aya and Many Faces, etc., indicate that the playing strength of current strong Go programs on 13x13 is around 4d-5d. The only program that beat Marumatsu was Zen.
