The first Monte-Carlo Go program was Gobble programmed by Brügmann in 1993.

Just so I'm ready next time a computer go question comes up at a pub quiz, it says the Monte Carlo method was "First incorporated into Go Programs in the 1970s". I'd have guessed 30 years later than that. Does anyone know which program this is referring to? Darren P.S. John, it says the new algorithm can topple strong players - shall we just believe them and say I won that bet? We don't really need to play the games out to prove it do we ;-). _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
