Re: computer-go: Evaluating positions
The tree branching factor in 9x9 is above 70 for the first several
moves of the game. For chess it is below 40. Later in the game, both
boards get simpler. I believe that 7x7 is a lot closer to chess in
complexity, not 9x9.
Keep us informed on your progress. I am also a beginner at Go and
have written a Go program which I rarely get to work on, but
occasionally play around with.

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.
