Subject: [computer-go] Proximity to last move
Most of the strong programs use pattern matching to select moves to try.
Usually there are some patterns that are centered on the last move, so they
will do move selection based on the last move. Since the list of moves
must
be highly pruned, it makes sense to sort it so moves near the last moves
are
searched first (since they are more likely to be good). If an enemy move
threatens a group, I give priority to moves that save that group over moves
that save other groups that became threatened on earlier moves.
I don't use pure proximity, but I do look at local responses first.
David
Could You give an example of such pattern or maybe is there somwhere a list
of
common patterns?
