Quoting Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I think there are 15 first moves in 9x9 go if you factor out the
symetries.
UCT isn't good at evauating all the moves, it will pick one of them and
spend most of it's time on it. But you could search each 1 at a time.
The UCT programs are memory bound, so you could search each of these 15
moves 1 at a time and study the scores.
It is perhaps better to do this experiment on 7x7 where it is actually known
what the best moves in the opening are so it is possible to judge the quality.
I am now not thinking about the first move mut more of finding a high quality
principal variation. I did some experiments long time ago with t least several
hours of computing time for some opening positions, but found that there were
some serious problems for many positions. Improvements or changes to the
program seemed to change the evaluation of opening positions almost randomly.
