I remember that conversation and the negative response. But to be fair
to the ones who were negative, you presented this as an evaluation
feature that could be calculated quickly, not as a pure performance
optimization. The negative response was in response to the suggestion
that it might be used as an evaluation feature instead of true
liberties.
At least that is how I remember it.
Oh, I definitely didn't mean to say or imply that those who gave a
negative reaction were wrong. I apologize if anyone took my post that
way! At the time, MC wasn't a big push in computer go, and I know I
wasn't thinking about rapid random games. You're absolutely right that
I was looking to use it as some kind of quick and dirty evaluation
feature. Honestly, I think the feedback was helpful too. I ended up
making a concept of local liberties that were slightly smarter than
pseudo liberties and were much more useful for non-MC computations.
