Just kicking out an idea: when you offer a handicap to a player, the
presumption is that he or she or it is significantly weaker than yourself.
Can that weakness be modeled in the playouts? A 5d player tends to know subtle
things about shape and joseki which a 1d player does not; tends to read a
little more deeply and accurately. Can a playout engine be tuned to represent a
generic 1d player?
Can such tuning be dynamically changed as the game progresses and more
information is obtained about both the player and the game itself?
