An essential feature of monte carlo is that it's search space is random and extremely sparse, so consequently opportunity to re-use nodes is also extremely sparse.
On the other hand, if the search close to the root is not sparse, my previous arguments about the number of nodes and the number of them that will continue to be useful still apply. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
