Hi Hendrik,

Thanks.

Congratulations, you have done a really nice work. I check your thesis. My result is consistent with yours of LBR-2. No benefit at all, so I took it off. I adapt LGR-1 to softmax policy of Erica. Basically, I am tuning the probability offset by checking some aritifical test-positions. In 3000 playouts, now it scores around 57% after 500 games, almost 60%, which is my target (my intuition is LGR-1 should help a lot already). :)

Actually I have one question and still can't figure out your reasoning. In a playout, why do you over-write the earlier replies by the later ones? Using the earliest one looks more reasonable to me.

Hi Aja,

I would be interested in your results. I think the LGRF policy is only a small first step into the direction of more adaptive playouts (and hopefully the overcoming of the horizon effect). As for the Last-Bad-Reply idea, you can read about my experiences with this and related policies in my Master's thesis, if you're interested. It contains the idea that resulted in the "Power of Forgetting" paper as well.

I admit that it's difficult for me to include such deterministic default policy. :-) With softmax policy, using the information of "last-LOST-reply" is maybe a good direction.
