No, you can't test it that way. The thing with monte carlo is the discovery and then very rapid progress of it. Even 2 years ago they were not very good compared to what they are now. I haven't seen that in
My statement was about a way forward - I'm not saying they are currently much better although this may already be the case with 9x9. - Don On Thu, 2006-11-30 at 16:58 -0500, Chris Fant wrote: > Can't you test that today by giving an MC go program twice as much > thinking time as the classical program? > > > On 11/30/06, Rémi Coulom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Chrilly wrote: > > >> > > >> I believe that MC will be the only way to write a GO program in the > > >> near future leaving the other stuff in the dust (like Mogo has with 9x9 > > >> Monte Carlo Go.)
