[computer-go] The Problem With Random Playouts

[Darren Cook]

A couple of months back I wrote an article on why I believe UCT with
random playouts (as opposed to heavy playouts) will never give a strong
computer go program. I've finally got it finished, edited and published:
 http://dcook.org/compgo/article_the_problem_with_random_playouts.html

I'd be surprised if the UCT experts on this list will find much new
there, but I hope some people will find it of value.

Thanks to Magnus Persson for reviewing an earlier version.
