[computer-go] end game analysis

A quick question: What programs are useful for coaching a player by analysing the moves that have been played in the endgame of some 19x19 game? What one would want to do is to input the position, say 30 moves from the end, and get a ranking of the remaining moves. It would be nice if it would no

RE: [computer-go] end game analysis

Many Faces can do some of this. You can easily try different moves or sequences and have the computer think at each position, although you have the start the analysis by hand. Win rate and PV are shown during the search so you can start a long search and stop it when it looks stable. After the s

RE: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [computer-go] Progressive widening vs unpruning

I tried this yesterday with K=10 and it seemed to make Many Faces weaker (84.2% +- 2.3 vs 81.6% +-1.7), not 95% confidence, but likely weaker. This is 19x19 vs gnugo with Many Faces using 8K playouts per move, 1000 games without and 2000 games with the change. I have the UCT exploration term, so
