I also had a difficult time producing a player that was less than
200 ELO stronger than a random player. Even a single play-out,
which seems hardly enough to discriminate between moves, is
enormously stronger than a random player. It was pretty much
like this:
ASSUME computer is black
0. with probably P, play a random move (using the same selection
methodology as the random player)
1. play 1 random game.
2. If black wins, play one of the first N black moves in the
play-out (all-as-first, for me it's some-as-first.)
3. If white wins, play one of the black move NOT in the play-out.
4. Crush a random player!
Surely by varying P, you can get a player arbitarily close to the random
player?
Or am I missing something?
