my first mailing to the list.
Interested to see what you think...
As I understand it, most Go programs do not use
any information about the order in which the stones
on the board have been played, to make their move decision.
To an extent this is understandable, because the best move
in a given position will clearly be the same regardless of
the order in which the stones were played.
maybe, but my teacher says that if a move has only *one* (rational) answer
(i.e. save the group in atari), then you should make that move last. not
sure what this would mean in a program. but it does give your opponent more
chances to make a non optimal move.
