Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Also, there are a lot to improvements to do in MC in a quite short term, so I share the point of view of RĂ©mi, Don and some others when saying that MC programs will fill the gap with classical programs in 19x19. And this can be soon. Now, it is the work of the "classical approach" developers to make us wrong :).
I can just add that I just started to add pattern matching to Valkyria. It is too early to make any promises but I am certain that I will improve Valkyria a lot on 19x19. Depending on what you use patterns for it is ortogonal to MC itself, that is any benefits "classic approach" programs have thanks to pattern matching should also apply to MC programs. And there are perhaps aspects of MC programs that can be improved with patterns that are unique to MC search as well. -Magnus _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
