Hi, Don I can find arguments to disagree. I think what makes humans homo sapiens is reasoning, not the ability to compute numerical simulations. As a human (I am one) I feel disappointed when the explanation I get for a best move is after x millions of simulated matches it proved to be the

I guess once superko really matters for programs, this paper might become interesting for us: http://www.fun.ac.jp/~kishi/pdf_file/AAAI04KishimotoA.pdf Regards, Benjamin I use the simple ko position as part of the hash key, and generally ignore positional superko and situational superko when

I have been a programmer for about 11 years professionally. Though I dont have a degree, dropped out my senior year due to the horrible cost of tuition and materials. -Josh On 7/11/07, Chris Fant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 7/11/07, Joshua Shriver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Really know a place

Are there different versions of Igo? KCC Igo, AI Igo? If so is Igo and open source engine that is being used as a base for others? Congrats though! -Josh On 7/11/07, David Fotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The list price in Japan is closer to $100 than $39. This is my Japanese product (AI Igo

Perhaps some day a mad Dr. Frankenstein will implement massively parallel supercomputing using an array of brains in petri dishes. But it will still be the meat that is intelligent. It's the only substance capable of that. I read an article several months back where a researcher used mice

[computer-go] Interesting Test Position (for UCT)

Attached is an interesting testposition which occured in UCT-Suzie against Peter-Woitke. If black plays 37 c4 the game is lost by 0.5 points. If Black passes, white gets a lot of threats. Black can choose between a safe loss, or some risk and a win. UCT-Suzie and the public domain version of
