It seems to me that a domain where "everything is so amateuristic" has its advantages, if you can only see them. Here is a field that is small enough that most people know each other and anyone can contribute with a certain amount of effort. These are the early days; computer go's best years are surely yet to come. And yet it is not so early that progress is slow and there is little hope. Isn't that better than working in an area where everything has been done?
I don't follow computer chess, but my naive outsider's perception is that it is largely solved. Perhaps those who know more about it can say more. - Brian _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
