Hi,
You say Aya "maybe 300 heavy playouts will get 5k". Do you mean 300k playouts? Or perhaps mean 300 playouts examined per valid move?
It means 300 playouts examined per valid move.
300 wouldn't even examine every legal move in the early game?
Yes. 300 playouts on 19x19 initial board is like this, move num winrate 1:d16 64, 0.437 2:q16 76, 0.447 3:d4 45, 0.444 4:q4 112, 0.508 5:d17 1, 1.000 6:r16 1, 1.000 7:q3 1, 1.000 Strong program does not examine all legal moves, but selects some moves. Aya selects 7 moves in 300 playouts, and 14 moves in 3000, 23 moves in 30000. Moves that have good shape or important feature are selected.
