Speaking of which, why did people start calling them rollouts instead of playouts? Darren P.S. And don't get me started on "chains": at one point this seemed to be the standard term for a solidly connected set of stones, the basic unit of tactical search (as distinguished from a "group", which is made up of 1+ chains). But then somewhere along the way people started calling them strings. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
