Quoting Peter Drake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The probability of winning by starting at b2 is greater than the probability starting elsewhere, but shouldn't it approach 1.0, since b2 is a winning move? Do others get this same behavior? Does anyone have an explanation?
The situation is still such that random play can mess things up. Even if black is winning UCT search for white will pick those moves which allows black to make bad moves deeper in the tree. What you should do is to print out the winning percentage for the principle variation and not only the top move. In valkyria the winning score do not change much at the root but following the tree down a winning variation often increase the winning percentage 5-10 % at each ply until it reache a point where random play always lead to a win. -Magnus _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
