[gnugo-devel] Global Serach

[Petri Pitkanen]

How difficult it would be to build a global alfa-beta search on
top/into of Gnu Go? I tried browsing the code and came to conclusion
that it would be pretty difficult since:
- GnuGo does not have evaluation function, But move value function,
This would need to be propagated in search tree
- Alternating needed between plys could be bit tricky

Easiest could be some script language implementation built on top of
modified GTP Ie. Special command that would request from GNU-Go list
of moves together with their values.

I would like to try this as I am quite sure that GG is strong enough
that global look ahead would do some good. Also it should be as easy
as possible since main goal would be to know does it help.
