Storing an opening book for the first 10 moves requires 33147774514824220000000000 nodes. Even with some reduction for symmetry, I don't see that much memory becoming available anytime soon, and you still have to evaluate them somehow.
Actually storing a tree, except for extremely limited special cases, is not even conceptually possible, and doesn't save much time. Consider that if you store the tree you saw at the previous move, by the time you get to use the stored tree 99% of it is useless because your opponent chose his move. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
