Ah, okay, now I understand your point of view. Thanks for explaining. Making the largest move available is just one possible strategy to attain the goal of ending the game with the most points scored. A more general strategy is to weigh the moves' size with the risks they can backfire. Evaluating the risks is probably just as difficult (or maybe more difficult) than evaluating a move's value (which is difficult enough), but IMHO just being greedy is not helping one's game. Might it be for this reason that MCTS doesn't show good results when trying to maximize score? best regards, Vlad _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
