Thanks, Peter! I have a question or two regarding the opening book, based on a collection of 3000 9x9 games provided by Nici Schraudolph. Who played the games in this collecton - pros, strong amateurs, or go programs?
I believe some of each, but mostly amateurs.
Second, were any statistics on the number of game moves "in book" versus "out of book" collected?
No.
Lastly, it was assumed that the book moves were winning moves; was this hypothesis ever tested on a move-by-move basis, whether against GnuGo or itself?
This was not tested in any formal way, but including the book does seem to increase the chance that the program will open with E5 (which I believe is the correct opening move on 9x9) and that it will occupy 3-3 points before doing anything else.
