Hi all, it seems computer-go faces exciting times again. What a wonderful world.
**************************************** Switch to Kassandra mode: Several years ago (ca 2008) Sylvain Gelly had his Ph.D. thesis and in it a section on the quality of "random game generators". One of his (experimental) findings was that better generators do not necessarily lead to better play of the corresponding MCTS engine. Inspired by this I did some theoretical research (in 2009) for "pure Monte Carlo" (without tree part): Without problems I was able to generate situations where better move generation led to worse performance. In total: Changing the random move generator typically will change the playing behaviour. However, it can not be well predicted if this change will be to the better or to the worse. ********************** Only tests in practise will show.
