Every go book says that to get better you need to see the big picture :) The big difference between low kyu and high dan players is seeing the big picture. Low kyu players are already pretty good at local tactics. If you read commentaries you will see a lot of waords about "direction of play", which is a big picture concept, and not so much about tactics.
I agree with you that a big strength of UCT is its ability to see the big picture. Older go programs were stronger at local tactics than sam-strength people, and weaker at big picture. UCT seems to be stronger at big picture and weaker at tactics. David > > Wouldn't that be a hoot?
