I don't know if there is any evidence that MFGO plays this any better than ZEN, unless it's stronger than ZEN in general. If MFGO is stronger than Zen, then it should be no surprise. Otherwise ... In order for this to be scientific, you need a reasonable number of game examples. I can imagine that a program could look very foolish in one game, then brilliant in another and this might be totally dependent on whether it blundered into the right kind of position where the normal algorithm would punish the mirror play. So what is the basis for saying that MFGO easily handles this and Zen is totally clueless about mirror go? It could be true, but is there anything more than anecdotal evidence? - Don > > > Andrés > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ >
