[computer-go] Re: Explanation to MoGo paper wanted.

[David Doshay]

We have encountered this consistently in our non-MC/UCT program.  
Things that "fix an obvious problem" lead to unintended consequences  
that sometimes take weeks to tease apart. So far we have been able to  
understand how this comes about in each situation, but still have  
little ability to predict in advance when the fix will simply work  
(and thus improve play) and when it will lead to the unintended  
consequences that result in worse play.


Cheers,
David
