Quoting Petr Baudis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Please note that pachi1 had a rather embarassing bug of starting the random playouts with wrong color (so if the last tree node was black, the playout would start with black as well). pachi2 has this bug fixed; the ELO rating is still not settled, but so far it seems that the impact of this has been about 20-30 ELO in the 110k playouts area, which seems surprisingly little to me.
It just shows that MC evaluation is robust, and this is because it is relative between moves and not an absolute evaluation. As long as the same bug applies to all moves it should not be that important. If the playouts are light i guess it matters even less.
