It was long ago: in February 2009, and it was only the first game in a series of 6 games. All other five games in that event were won by the humans. Later, only one more bot-win against a "low pro" at h7. http://www.computer-go.info/h-c/index.html Without special "techniques" the h7 wall will stand for a long time. Ingo. PS: Once again I would like to mention my report on "Laziness of Monte Carlo", at http://www.althofer.de/mc-laziness.pdf In the meantime, a student has found the same phenomenon in UCT search (instead of basic MC). Also in discrete online optimization (so outside of combinatorial games) it has been observed by another Ph.D. student of mine: porcedures on Monte Carlo basis are stronger when they have the impression that the situation is "tense". -- Neu: GMX Doppel-FLAT mit Internet-Flatrate + Telefon-Flatrate für nur 19,99 Euro/mtl.!* http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02 _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
