I now have playouts based on 3x3 pattern weights.
When I tested it on CGOS it seemed to be weaker than my old engine
which used light playouts only. I used a comparable setup, and the elo
difference is about 100 after more than 150 games.
I can also seem some weird RAVE value patterns (not 1-1 points are the
worst, but the 2-1/2-2 points), but they are symmetrical so I doubt
it's a bug.
Is this a known phenomenon and are 3x3 patterns only strong in
combination with more knowledge, or should I start debugging? Or is it
possibly an effect caused by the rating of the cgos bots not being the
same as when I first tested?
regards,
ibd
