Going along with this, the numbers won't add up (although I don't know if that is important.) In other words, if you do 10,000 simulations at the root, all grandchildren will add up to more (due to transpositions.) If you propogate this up the tree you might come up with many more than 10,000 simulations at the root.
Maybe this is obvious, but it seems like the numbers do add up if you think about it differently? When the program does a simulation that has multiple ancestors, it is effectively working on multiple simulations at once (counting each transposition separately.) The count at each node would then be the number of virtual simulations done. You could count the number of actual simulations separately and see what the ratio is between them at the root to see how effective the tables are. - Brian _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
