That's better than I thought it would be. But I would guess that most of the benefit would be seen in doing just 10 or 20k playouts. This is because after 5K you are really in the seriously diminishing returns part of the curve. With a 63.5% win rate there is still a great deal of uncertainty, but this is evidence that it's probably better - which of course is very believable since that is what we would expect. - Don > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
