Thanks to Don and the others for all the feedback, bits of information, and help.
Inventing, trying, or proposing something is one aspect. But finding a proper (and sketchy) name for this is another topic, also interesting. For instance: The person who introduced the sketchy and short name "komi" (for second player compensation) to the human go community must have been a smart guy. Is it known when the term "komi" was used for the first time. ********************************************* A jump in topic. This night I was meditating, and one idea came to my mind: What about the term "dynamic counting" in the context of computer go? First of all the term was there, and now I try to find out what the substance behind it might be... Here is one possible idea: Sometimes go bots overemphasize play in and for the center. What if inside the bot territory on the 19x19-board is counted not in the traditional way, but give different points different value. Example: points in the central 7x7-square get value 0.9 each (or 7/8=0.875). All other squares get the normal value (=1). How would an MCTS bot with such a setting play?
