Hi Oliver,

Yes, I have looked at the thesis, but not thoroughly. I will spend some time to 
take a closer look. Thanks.

  I don't know if you have looked at Hendrik's masters thesis (as opposed to 
the shorter paper with Peter Drake) but it describes a lot of variations on LGR 
which look sensible and should be better but are in fact much worse. This 
suggests that LGR1 and LGRF2 are quite hard to improve on.

  Hendrik - did you look at any metrics on the variations to see if you could 
establish why most of them were not successful?  I was wondering if looking at 
the percentage of suggestions made by the policy or the refresh rate would 
suggest what the problem is with some of the others.  For example, a policy 
which is providing a "good reply" nearly 100% of the time with a low refresh 
rate is probably too narrow for good exploration.

      You will most likely get very few matches of all three patterns, the 
probability is just too low. Try matching only the surroundings of the last 
move, for example. Try to go from general to more specific conditions, as there 
are many ways to formulate the specific ones. Good luck!
