No, because they play the game out to the end where everything is as safe as it can be. Then, because they had to guess what the best move is at each point when playing it out, they play it out many thousands of time, and see what percentage of those playouts led to a win for each side. Playing randomly like that shouldn't work, but when you play Mogo et al, you see that intelligent behaviour emerges. > Sorry, I didn't go into their papers, can people who knows UCT, or actually > working on UCT programs explain in a way that a layman can understand. Sensei's has something. http://senseis.xmp.net/?UCT Searching the archives to this list would also give explanations (though you'll be overwhelmed by the noise I guess).
