Re: [computer-go] An [open] question on game tree search theory

[Don Dailey <drd@xxxxxxx>]

   Usually at this point somebody will suggest that evaluations should be 
   of the form "score + confidence estimate", i.e. that evaluations should 
   consist of two numbers, evaluation score, and some form of evaluation of 
   the confidence in the score. A generalization would be to let 
   evaluations be probability distributions of evaluation scores.

If you view evaluation more as the probability of winning (where 0.5 == draw)
then evaluation which you have little confidence in could be pushed in the
direction of a draw, reflecting your lack of confidence in the reliability of
the score.
