There are some subtle distinctions to make
when thinking about slack moves, though. Some
strong moves simply solidify a connection enough
to make a large region of the board come under
more influence to be used later. This is really
difficult to measure, because these moves often
can serve severa
1) The strongest players I've known personally have been extremely
articulate about what they were doing & why; one used to practice
explaining every move he made to his opponent.
2) I'm not that strong, myself--so you may take this with suitable
seasoning. I think the main advantage of personal g
I should get a rating on KGS just to get a rough idea of how weak I am.
I know that when I started I could not tell if a group was dead in even
simple cases. I thought my own program was blundering many times when
the moves were actually good.
Even though I haven't played a game (outside of my

It seems to be the case that you don't need to be a great player to
write a great program but it certainly doesn't hurt. I feel that it
holds me back since I learned the rules just so that I could write a
program.
I believe it's this way with other games too. Over the decades, some of

I don't know how well other engine authors are in OTB gameplay, but
personally I play the game a lot and trying to learn it to the best of

One would expect that a lot of Go-specific knowledge is required to develop a
good program, but my impression is that some of the best Go programs so far
have been actually written by people who know little about the game itself.
