Re: [computer-go] RAVE problems

Although I've never done a RAVE implementation (soon, very soon), this is related in the sense that AMAF is related to RAVE: I have recently (yesterday, actually) done some experiments on AMAF with 5-vertex patterns (normal AMAF can be considered 1-vertex patterns). I was not able to observe a
