Yes, I was refering to global position reading. I realise such evaluation
will not be sufficient alone, for a good Go player. However, I'd like to
know if the information it gives can be used in some way by current
programs.

On average, when compared to human players, the rank it gives to the played
move (by the human player) is better than the rank of 85% of the other legal
moves.  I guess there's some (although little) useful information there.

Anyone knows of a program that would be more easily modified so that I could
either:

- select k moves to be considered.
- give a value to each global position.

Thanks.
Jeffrey.
