You say this in a reply to my e-mail as if I had come up with that
statement. But I was just quoting it from Chrilly Donninger. I suppose
what he meant by this statement is that many go programs do _not_ use
full board lookahead. I happen to know that such is the case for GNU Go :)
And it's probably right for most of the programs that took part in Graz,
only exceptions I am aware of are Smart-Go and Aya.

As you have explained, Many Faces does use full-board lookahead, and
the other top programs probably use it, too. And I am convinced we have
to add it to GNU Go some time, too.

Best,
Arend
