No professional gambler, if he had the numbers laid out for him, would ever choose unoptimal play, not when he's playing for the long term. The computer, in the same way, would have to be modeled to maximize expected value. Nothing else makes sense. In a single game with high stakes, yes mindset (risk aversion, your finances, etc) might come into it. But that is exactly why I specified the long term scenario. -Jeff _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
