Its exactly what I derived myself, so I understand it :) But it might be difficult for causal reader. My suggestions: - you could add factor graph to ease thinking about it. - [most important] describe what x, sigma_i, and u_i are - [important] you could explicitly state bayes theorem to derive po

I think a better way to do this is to self-play a few hundred games with various komi values. The correct komi will be clear from those games. This worked on 7x7 so I assume it would work on 6x6. Of course this cannot be considered a "proof." - Don On Wed, 2008-09-24 at 09:53 +0200, "Ingo A

To satisfy my standards of proof, games would have to be post-analyzed to determine whether either side could have made better moves. Duplicate games would be thrown out; games with inferior play would be tossed. We might not have the resources to completely solve the game, but we could improve

This is an interesting idea, but do you have any actual results? If you implement this kind of rave formula do you get a stronger program? David > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:computer-go- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason House > Sent: Wednesday, September 2
