actually, it is possible in a perfect information game like chess or go. it's not possible if you know perfect strategy, but it's always possible otherwise. however, unless one or the other player is using randomness to help generate their moves, there is no well-defined sense of probability. but there can certainly be a well-defined sense of the number of wins and losses, necessary for elo. s. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@dvandva.org http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
