the same principles could also apply to, for example, running large tests of

The latest version of Orego can be found here:
https://webdisk.lclark.edu/drake/orego/orego-7.08.jar
I've spent some time cleaning up the code; this version is
particularly well-documented and devoid of dead-end experiments.
Anyone who wants to start experimenting with computer Go in Java
Thanks Peter. I started using Orego for some of my experiments 2-3 years
ago (version 3 I think) and I always found it very accessible, particularly
as I'm not a strong programmer. I'd recommend it to anyone, whether you
want to experiment with MCTS or other types of evaluation.

As usual, I welcome your comments and corrections. My report says
little about the actual games; most of the programs are several stones

I thought it already was one. What is the obstacle?
(I don't have a spare machine to run it on, but anyone else is welcome
to do so.)

From that page (the weird numbering is a cut-and-paste artifact):
Have a mix of algorithms to avoid mono-culture problems.
I'd be happy to have Orego included in the mix.
Use engines that aren't affected by the time limit to avoid variation
between different PCs

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the report. I have one correction:
Erica was running on i7 950, 2 cores with 4 threads, **2.70 GHz, not 2.7
GHz.
In the report you said pachi was running on 20-core system after round 4. Is
that true? I remember Petr said pachi was running on single core for the
whole
Hi professor Drake,
I read your paper THE LAST-GOOD-REPLY POLICY FOR MONTE-CARLO GO and was very
surprised with the performance of the heuristic The Last-Good-Reply Policy.
In your experiment, it boosts the wining rate from around 40% to almost 60%. I
wonder does this version of Orego feature
Correction to the correction: not 2.7 should be not 2.27.
