Of course this is true, but presumably a move that answers a direct atari threat would classify as being better than random.
It seems like the concept of "better than random" is tricky. I guess it's supposed to mean that one of these moves is more likely to make you win than a random move? It's difficult to talk precisely about all of these idea we have been talking about because we haven't really defined terms very well. Even my phrase "more likely to make you win" has little real meaning. It's one of those thing we talk about and think we know what each other means! - Don > > Christoph > > _______________________________________________ > 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/
