Sounds about right. Looking at my notes, I have 57% wins for white using similar playout?rules.

I play 50k games when starting my program, and I usually get around 60% winning rate for white. This seems rather high to me, and I suspect a bug somewhere. Do you have any data I could compare with? I use random playouts, only moves that fill eyes are pruned. > > Cheers, ibd I don't know the answer, but it's not too surprising - with random play the komi should be something like 2 or 3, so white with 7.5 komi has a pretty good advantage. This advantage disappears (or almost disappears) if the games are well played, but in your case they are not. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
