ooh, now this is exciting. my guess is that if you don't put enough simulations into the opening, it acts very similarly to a handicap in your opponent's favor. i.e. you will play nearly random opening moves and get crushed as a result. this is for an opponent who concentrates his time in the midgame versus one who spends the same amount of time on every single move. by the way, i would agree that a front-weighted MC player would lose to a back-weighted MC player, since everything would die during yose. this is a very easy experiment to run, by the way. :) s. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Want to start your own business?
