Heikki, I've tried ideas such as this in the past and it's quite frustrating - everything that tries to take territory scoring into account weakens the program. If you just need to see prettier moves, I think it is good enough to priortize the moves using some other algorithm at the root of the tree. If you just cover the case where a program is "easily winning" or losing it will play "nicer" but not stronger. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
