With random playouts, there is no place to add knowledge. With heavier playouts, the "signal" from the win rate can still be very weak, or even wrong. UCT is particularly weak when a timely move is required - making the correct move 2 moves later looks 99% as good as making it immediately. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
