Human players use reading (yomi) and feeling (kankaku) to play Go. In MC programs, I think the reading is equivalent to UCT, and the feeling is equivalent to playouts. The reading is scalable, the feeling is not. If 2 programs have the playout algorithms of same level, The one which used more CPU power should win. But what happens if their level of the playout algorithm were different? Maybe this is the main reason why Zen could beat Fuego. (The game against MoGo was lucky, not good example.) -- Yamato _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
