Many Faces of go is currently much slower. On 9x9 it does about 18k playouts per second, on two CPU cores, so about 9K per thread. The average 9x9 game is about 92 moves, so there are about 1.6 million board-settings per second. The playouts are far from random. Many moves are local responses t

What method are you guys using for the monte carlo search? What do you do? I pick at random a move, then for the resulting board that comes out of that pick another move and so on. Then, after that I evaulate the number of stones etc. What do you guys look at to select a move using monte carlo? On
