[computer-go] Monte-Carlo Go - 1,000 foot view...

[Łukasz Lew]

Monte - Carlo Go:

If You know how to score a position then just play a move that leads
to the best scored position.

To score a position, play a large numberof completly random games from
this position
and compute average score (or better wining percentage).

To play a random game, just play random legal moves, but do not fill
Your own eyes, that the game may end; Use Chinese scoring then.

That's it ... from 1000 foot view :)
