Thank you for explaining these differences, > and for pointing out the other errors. > There's still one problem... The description of HB04 says "Old version 0.4 of HouseBot. Uses MC/UCB, no UCT". In reality, it does not do MC (or UCB) at all. It votes on moves based on simple heuristics such as descending to protect a group's skirt, placing stones in atari, forming benson unconditional life, etc... It's 1-ply logic like UCB, but has absolutely no MC element. That's why it plays blazingly fast... Games of HB04 vs. IdiotBot have been known to finish in seconds.
I should have added a few more things to this... * The UCB version was HBotSVN, but I wouldn't recommend adding that to the description of it. (Actually, the UCB simply represents the configuration for the tournament) * The old entries for the various flavors of HouseBot were left on the bot names page. While I would recommend deleting those old entries, I'd appreciate it if you kept the link to the homepage: http://housebot.sourceforge.net <http://housebot.sourceforge.net/>
