For the record, an expanded version of that paper has recently been
published in a Springer book:

@inbook{nngochap,
     author = {Nicol N. Schraudolph and Peter Dayan
               and Terrence J. Sejnowski},
      title = {Learning to Evaluate Go Positions
               via Temporal Difference Methods},
    chapter =  4,
      pages = {77--98},
     editor = {Norio Baba and Lakhmi C. Jain},
  booktitle = {Computational Intelligence in Games},
  publisher = {Springer Verlag, Berlin},
     series = {Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing},
     volume =  62,
       year =  2001
}

You can find it online at:   ftp://ftp.idsia.ch/pub/nic/gochap.ps.gz

No new work - just more details and a bit of updating.  The original paper
is from 1993 and showing its age.  I hope to get a new and improved effort
going in the near future...

Best wishes,
