Agreed. My point wasn't that there is something new (though I am not able to judge that), but that whatever it is, if humans tried to play that way (or that way at those times), it wouldn't turn out very well because working memory or other requirements to pull it off are just too high. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
