Thought I'd announce that I've ported the Java refbot to the Go language (with some modifications).
I'm getting about 10,000 random playouts/second on 9x9 using a single thread on a 32-bit iMac, using the gc compiler, which doesn't do any optimization. I suspect that a board structure that tracked pseudo-liberties could do better. I probably won't have a chance to work on this for a while, but I think the next step might be some kind of tree search. I'd be interested in a particularly simple, standard, and easy-to-port implementation to use as reference.
