i'd like to follow this up by saying that i'm interested to see if anyone has compared winning percentage in the following two situations:
i) maximize probability of win ii) maximize probability of win until p_win > 1-eps, then maximize total score among all moves that give > 1-eps probability of winning. if ii) gives a lower percentage of wins than i), it'd be an interesting result in its own right, and if it doesn't, then there's a simple formula for getting a lot more resignations out of your opponents (not to mention, it'll give the impression that your program is incredibly strong whenever it wins). s. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
