From my own experience, an important testing case whenever trying
to get AMAF to work, is the scaling study.
My prototype was quite strong considering that it used only 1000 light playout
(and score 25-30 % win against gnugo lvl 0), but it seemed to not get much
over that as the number of playout grew ... (also there had a serious
exponential complexity problem, which i never get into the trouble of
investigating :) )
I know that Zoe was about 2000 elo with i think 50k simulations, and ... never
got any real better as the number of simulations increased.
Both prototype were toying with AMAF, so i really think you need a bit of
scalability
study whenever trying to asses an engine employing it. (although it could very
well be
that the scalability trouble came out of some nasty bugs. Both aforementioned
prototype
where quite messy ...)
