Hi everyone! In last few years I've spend a lot of time with computer chess, but in general I found Go much more interesting than chess.
I have zero experience in writing go program, but I've read with great interest about Monte Carlo playouts being a highly effective new weapon in computer go. Question 1: How does one playout go? Are you using completely random moves or something smarter? Question 2: Are there some (preferably high-quality) open-source programs around? I took a look at GnuGo, but it's terribly complex and seems to presents era before MC-breakthrough. Question 3: Are there standardized protocols which allow programs easily play against each others? Are there GUIs or tourney managers to easily play a lot of engine-engine matches. If the conditions are right, I might want to try Go-programming in near future... Joona Kiiski
