I expect it to learn to teach me about Nueral nets =} I'm in the middle of
swithcing carrers to game development and want to concentrate on AI's. I
was looking something to teach me nueral nets and since a coworker of my
current carrer is into Go, i decided that i'd use Go as the domain to
learn NNs. Also for any initial board setup (ie one or two peices) i
believe there is a perfect move that would lead to a win. and if you keep
doing those moves you will win. I want the net to learn the perfect
moves. Or come dang close to it. even with an error margin of 80% on a
"perfect" move for every situation. It should be fairly competent. At
least enough to beat my co-worker


On a side note I don't think classic GA is gonna work... its too
multinodal.. just finished reading about PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization)
But to do it correctly i'm gonna need to redo my NN
