Forgive me if this simple thought has been discussed here before, but I'd like to share it: Maybe MCTS-based programs can't show their full potential in handycap games because of this lazyness effect Ingo has observed. This night I watched the match Mogo against Kim MyungWan and there were comments about MoGo's current estimate about its winning probability. There is also a chart about MoGo's self-asessed winning rate that has been posted on Sensei's Library: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2874789731/ For more than 150 moves MoGo was over 70% confident to win the game. Maybe this thought is too human, but I'd say no wonder it plays sloppily. For this reason I'd love to see an even game against a professional. But that we can't ask for, probably.
