Hello, in the German computer go forum we currently have lots of discussion, not only on the forthcoming Lee Sdol-vs-AlphGo match but also on other aspects.
Laurent Heiser (6-dan amateur) mentioned that the commercial "Crazy Stone" is particulartly strong in capturing groups in the central part of the board. In a follow-up, Marc Oliver Rieger proposed that with this strength in mind MCTS bots might be in particularly strong in Torus GO, because the torus board does not have borders or corners any longer. May someone has the energy to realize such a bot? Cheers, Ingo. http://senseis.xmp.net/?BorderlessGoban _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
