1) play the semeai first - spot semeais (not that hard after all, from statistics on simulations) - solve them with a dedicated solver - play the moves which simplify the semeai before the rest of the Monte-Carlo part 2) discard simulations - spot semeais - solve them with a dedicated solver - discard simulations which propose a result which is not consistent with the dedicated solver 3) add expertise (positive for semeais that should be played immediately, negative for others) Some of the experiments are here: http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00512854/fr/ and there's nothing which works, even on very simple semeais :-) as many people in this mailing list have tried similar things and failed as well I start thinking that I'll die of old age before someone solves this :-) (and I congratulate in advance the person who will solve that :-) ) Best regards, Olivier
