Re: [computer-go] Pattern matching - example play

[David Weiss <dweiss51@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know that much about Chess, and
am not all that interested.  In Go,
players analyze various sequences of moves,
and reject those that don't work.  Profesional
Go players are not monosyllabic idiot savants, 
but people who have read out sequences of moves
for different possible alternatives, and base
their play on this.  

Of course the judgement of professional players 
is better than that of amateurs without any reading.
Professionals play simultaneous games against
large numbers of amateurs all the time, and only
lose about one or two stones in ability when playing 
very quickly.  The additional 9 hours that they 
take in a tournament game takes them from the level
of an extremely strong amateur to a professional.
Still, they are actually reading out stuff and
using that information in deciding a move.
