I wouldn't put it as strongly, but I also noticed that MC and UCT and suclike techniques were not mentioned at all. I am not sure how that affects the predictions. On one hand, the article seems overly optimistic, but on the other hand, it does not consider the latest techniques that have shown some real promise, indicating that it may be underestimating the future programs... Maybe there are other inventions coming up in the near future that make the optimism more justified? -H -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
