I did not try something like "plays globally until the xxx move then
> locally". Perhaps it should help. Hmm its probably rather difficult to find the balance, local answer are very often needed. Good stuff would be : when no local answer is needed, then take initiative and play one big/global move.
Yes you are right. Yet, answering the "when no local answer is needed" question is hard. I tried something like "consider global at the root and local at deeper nodes". But MoGo is still too weak at local fights to afford spending simulations to global search. I hope in the future it will become stronger in local fights so that it can afford looking global at the root. I agree this is a big issue. Perhaps some has already much better solutions/ideas in mind. Sylvain
