Zen uses sequence-like AND probabilistic simulation. Basically it plays around the previous move randomly like MoGo, and these moves are biased by gamma values like Crazy Stone. I am also trying to use probabilistic simulation on the whole board, but it does not yet succeed. The main problem is how to combine the semeai, seki and useless-move detection with it. -- Yamato _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@dvandva.org http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
