I think you are okay: at the point where computers were 100 times quicker than in 1979, monte-carlo was still too slow for anyone to realize its potential. (Fastest supercomputer now is 33.86 petaflop/s, which is approx 10^8 to 10^9 quicker than the fastest in 1979! I think it is about the same ratio for a typical desktop.) :-) Darren _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
