> But you have never (to my knowledge) layed out what way that is. You're quite right here. I'm not advocating a specific change, just pointing out that all the effort going into building faster monte carlo engines may be irrelevant, because the programs actually need better steering.
I know we disagree on this point, but I believe chess has reached it's current state of success MOSTLY because of Moore's law. It always was believed that Go was would have to be solved by other means, perhaps even (gasp!) understanding the game. Monte carlo has given some credibility to the theory that Moores law may be enough after all. I'm arguing not. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
