Interesting.
I'm currently trying to find some correlation between playing strength and average chain size. I'm using random player as a baseline and then doing very weak MC as the stronger player. To get anything more than two chains at the end of almost every game, you have to go up to about 30x30. At that size, even 1 playout per option for the MC player (900 playouts, each lasting around 1300 moves, to decide the first move of the game) is taking a long time -- 30 minutes per game. On such a large board, 1 playout per choice is unlikely to be much stronger than random (it is much stronger on small boards), so I'm really not expecting to see a correlation. But it keeps my machine busy while I go have some brews :) _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
