I think you are right, though. In my opinion, calling MCTS "brute force" isn't really fair, the brute force portion really doesn't work and you need to add a lot of smarts both to the simulations and to the way you pick situations to simulate to make things work. -- Petr Baudis If you have good ideas, good data and fast computers, you can do almost anything. -- Geoffrey Hinton _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
