Actually I think that the word "kankaku" has multiple meanings. You are right in the meaning that you say, but I just meant judging which is ahead without reading, by "feeling". In this meaning, we can say every programs already have feeling, even if they are different from human's kankaku and strange in the fuseki stage. Zen already has the opening book and some joseki patterns. However, the problem is, a good position for a human is not always good for a program, because of their feeling. -- Yamato _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
