Re: computer-go: A problem with understanding lookahead

["David Mechner" <mechner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are saying that search is useful when you have a sufficiently good
evaluation function, and when the structure of the game you're playing is
well-behaved, then we have no disagreement.

My only point was that it's interesting that in computer chess, search using
an evaluation much cruder than expert human positional judgement leads a
program to better positions not just by its crude evaluation function, but
also by the more sophisticated judgement of the human.
