No. Since MF's search is so highly pruned, and directly by the expert system move generator, it scales poorly with computer power. If I went back to the pure MFGO engine and added the modern ELO based pattern from Remi's approach, I think it would be a couple of stones stronger, but still weaker than MCTS.
A lot of MFGO's increase from about 3 Kyu in 2008 to about 2 dan now is due to my implementing some of the basic MFGO knowledge inside the MCTS policies to bias move selection David > > BTW, David, if you choose the CPU to suit it, can the traditional Many > Faces beat the best MCTS programs? > > > Darren > > _______________________________________________ > Computer-go mailing list > Computer-go@computer-go.org > http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
