[Aja]

I discover that this upcoming paper is already available in your website http://legacy.lclark.edu/~drake/Orego.html

I will try this interesting idea in Erica.

    This version's default player (Lgrf2Player) uses the last-good-reply policy, and in fact an improved version described in an upcoming paper. We do not use the Elo-based heavy playouts, because we were never able to get them to run quickly enough to really offer an improvement.

      Hi professor Drake,

      I read your paper "THE LAST-GOOD-REPLY POLICY FOR MONTE-CARLO GO" and was very surprised with the performance of the heuristic "The Last-Good-Reply Policy". In your experiment, it boosts the wining rate from around 40% to almost 60%. I wonder does this version of Orego feature this heuristic? Or maybe you have combine this heuristic with the "Elo-Based Heavy Playouts" described in your paper "Investigating the E ects of Playout Strength in Monte-Carlo Go"?

      Thanks,
      Aja
