I can code an algorithm that evaluates simple ladders correctly. I'll repeat that. I can code a program that reads ladders better than a pure MC program without knowledge of ladders. I can beat it. Human knowledge programmed into a computer that does that one thing, that basic go skill, better than the MC program. Are you saying that there is absolutely no way to combine such with an MC program to make it better? Not just that no one has done it (I don't know if anyone has) but that it is impossible? Are you saying that attempts to do so are wasted? If you are, I'd appreciate it if you did so clearly. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
