I toyed with that a while back and the results were disappointing. Every move's best reply was to tenuki to at a big point. You may need to subtract out the normal rave values to find which replies become more important than normal, even if they aren't the biggest moves overall. Or maybe only look at local replies?

Indeed it is. How may a program reason about the order of moves? At higher levels of play, the order of moves is often crucial.


I plan to try the following:

Store win and run counts for each move in the context of the two previous moves. This would accumulate results for "forced" move sequences, such as edge-of-board hanes. In terms of the GRAVE model I discussed earlier, this says two boards are similar if they have the same last two moves (regardless of what happened elsewhere on the board).

Two moves, rather than one, are necessary to chain together sequences of moves. Otherwise, consider this:

.#O.
.#Od
.cab

If # moves at a, then b is the correct response, followed by c, then d. However, if # plays directly at c, O should not respond at d.

Obligatory acronym: SAVE (Sequence RAVE).

My guess is that this will not work as well as RAVE. It just might work to combine this information (which in a sense remembers local searches) with the RAVE information (which finds "globally" good moves). Combining pure AMAF might help, too, as it would solve the "missing sibling information" problem I mentioned earlier.
