For me, and I suspect some others here, UCT has been used to mean the way of expanding out the most interesting node at a time, using light or heavy playouts that contain some random element. People now seem to be calling that MCTS (monte carlo tree search). UCT is also a specific algorithm to decide which node to expand next. I think this is the UCT Mogo no longer uses, but that it still uses MCTS. (I hope someone will let me know if not, as I'd then have to sit up and readjust my view of the universe :-).

The MoGo programmer who answered questions after the match (Olivier Teytaud) did state that MoGo no longer used UCT. He gave a one-line statement of the reason they switched, which I did not follow.

I am not seeing the the implementation details, just the overall design and general strategies. However, if the implementation details are available, I would love to see those as well. I am confused around what Mogo used. Was it Monte Carlo only, UCT only, Monte Carlo integrated with UCT, RAVE, etc? I have read through all of the recent emails, and I have not been able to get a clear picture of it's design. Mogo at one timed used Monte Carlo and UCT.

> Can anyone detail the design of the version of Mogo You can find some papers here: http://www.lri.fr/~gelly/Publications.htm I don't personally know of any papers detailing improvements or changes in the past year (I think they've mainly been on making it more parallel).
