Re: computer-go: Evaluating positions

[Rafael Garcia Leiva <rafael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear group:

I am also working in my own evaluation function, and I was wondering if
somebody knows where I can find professional games or positions
evaluated by experts. I would like to compare the result of my
evaluation function, with what an expert has to say about the position.

Also I have a question. If the tree-branching-factor of a 9x9 go board
is simmilar to tree-branching-factor of chess, why the go programs do
not play better in a 9x9 board? Is it a problem of the evaluation
function? Why?

By the way, I am a begginer go player, and I have just started to code
my own go program.

Thanks in advance.
