OK.  I think there will continue to be steady progress. ...

I think that 100,000 is much closer the number of (mostly unconcious) rules

I've talked to Mr Yang about computer go ...  He also thinks there are
a small number of rules, but I've talked to him about some of them, and as
I code them, one of his rules turns into a very large number of program
rules :(




i''ve been hanging around mr. yang for a number of years now (he lives 


relatively nearby) and naturally have heard many of his "rules" in lessons. 


his set of rules does seem fairly small. the problem i have in games is 


knowing what the priorities are in different parts of the game as well as 


having a bad evaluator (in my head) sometimes.



could you tell us which if any of his rules seem to work well when coded 


up? or perhaps why the one rule exploded so much?



thanks
