Petr Baudis and I have a debate about the effectiveness of transposition tables for go. My guess is that, compared to a simple tree, a transposition table should make the program stronger, particularly for long games and many cores. Petr thinks that transposition tables are much less effective in go than in chess. For those of you using a transposition table, did you observe a strength increase? If so do you have even a vague estimate of how many elo points this can bring? Is it more effective in 19x19 or 9x9? Thanks.
