I'm still in the process of writing one up, but I'm not sure yet
if I will seek publishing it in any more formal venue, since the overall
results are rather disappointing. I still need to write it up for my
thesis anyway, though - I expect to have a draft ready in few weeks.
In handicap games, the improvement is significant, but in even games,
the best method I have found gives only tiny statistically significant
improvement - about 54% winrate in self-play after very intensive
parameter tuning, with the effect being smaller in fast games and
somewhat more pronounced with large simulation counts. I was not able
to reproduce Hiroshi Yamashi's results with his (different) algorithm
either in my program.
