Congrats. What a wonderful example of a really shitty game. It's just brute force search into the nothingness. The fact that it's hard makes it even worse. It has an almost unbeatably low ratio of meaning to difficulty.
Stefan Do you know the (kids) game that is played with a matrix of random numbers? One player picks (and removes) a number from a row, the other picks a number from any column in the row of the previous player. The player with the largest total in the end wins. It's a stupid game, played badly by humans and very well by computers because it's very easy to make a program do the search way beyond a human can. Make the matrix big enough and no player will be perfect, whereas a computer easily can be made to beat any human 100% of the time. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
