Nice theory, but I find it pretty hard to believe, for many reasons.
In a way that is a "typical chess programmers" approach to Go, which I
find rather simpleminded and quite unlikely to produce good results. Not
because the searhc space is too large, but because I do not believe it
is possible to produce a whole-board evaluation function that gives
meaningfull results fast enough for a deep search. But that is, of
course, my personal belief, and I am ready to be corrected by hard
results.

Best regards
