When MonteGNU is published, it will be an alternative of GNU Go. Of course MC vs MC may have some problems, but at least it is stronger than GNU Go on 9x9. And, if the way to combine UCT and the local tactical search is discovered, the regression test like GNU Go will be also useful. -- Yamato _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
