i think we should shy tatics that are random to see if they are good
Could you elaborate?
what does that mean
To elaborate means to explain something in more detail. I donât understand what you are asking / proposing, so I asked if you could elaborate: if you could clarify what you mean.
Do you mean that we should try random tactics? And then look if they are any good?
yes
Maybe it will amuse you, but thatâs exactly what the strongest go players at this moment are doing:
AlphaGo Zero, ELF, LeelaZero, and other âZeroâ variants of artificial intelligence are considerably stronger than professional humans. And the remarkable thing is that they learned without any âhelpâ from humans: they taught themselves to play: by trial-and-error! At first the AI is playing against itself with a random strategy. From these strategies, they keep the ones that won the game, and change them slightly (but randomly) and then play again. If they do this for long enough, in the end they become very strong AI.
Another interesting thing is that the AI use a lot of strategy that humans also discovered, as well as a lot of new strategies that humans hadnât discovered, or (traditionally) had not agreed with.
So to answer your suggestion, thatâs exactly whatâs happening already, and we actually automated the process by letting computers do the work.
really

It could have been a curious 10-year-old, though.

âGOT EMâ as they say.
I think the kids these days shout âGotti!â
You think taktics? I think tictacs.
Shame they wonât release an AlphaGo commemorative edition, perhaps in vanilla and liquorice mixed colours.
wouldnt those just be good and plentyâs?
In the Netherlands weâve got these edible go stones made from liquorice with peppermint / salmiac . Excellent solution for go on the go.
What Iâd like to know is how someone plays 174 simultaneous correspondence games. Thatâs a minute per move to view the board, think, play, and click on the next game for three hours. Random moves? The memory of Koltanowsky? Iâd get carpel tunnel trying to do that. BTW, is that a record here on OGS?.
nope, the record goes much MUCH higher 174 is childâs play
Do enlighten us. And whatâs the timeout ratio?
Eh, too lazy to check on my mobile. Will have a look tomorrow. Feel free to place bets until then.
Winner gets⌠I dunno. Will draw him/her a picture. Maybe.
