here are the results comparing the methods of choosing the best move. I have not yet tested the more complicated solution of giving more time if necessary. The benchmark: - current MoGo with 70000 simulations/move (exactly, no more time even if necessary). - gnugo 3.6 all by default (level 8 I think). - 9x9 with 7.5 komi Results: (number of win/number of games with MoGo playing black, then with MoGo playing white, then percentage over all the games). * Choosing the move with the highest value: 338/425(b),352/425(w) (81.2%/850) * Choosing the move with the highest (value-(standard deviation)/sqrt(simulations)): 332/400(b),326/400(w) (82.2%/800) * Choosing the move with the highest number of simulations: 322/400(b),341/400 (w) (82.9%/800) So indeed choosing the move with highest number of simulations seem a little better, whereas it is not statistically very significant (I could try with more games, but 800 is already quite a lot :-)). > But it's hard to imagine this making MoGo even stronger :-) :-) I have to find a way, because I have a bet with Yizao, that MoGo will beat him one day in 9x9 without handicap. If I succeed, he pays me a meal in a restaurant :-)).
