[computer-go] Monte-Carlo Go Misnomer?

[Sylvain Gelly]

Hello Don,

I have the same situation with an older program that has a more

You are 100% right. However, you could design an optimized version from
scratch for the sophisticated evaluation that would run much faster. I
believe in a *2,*3 speed.
