Download [PC] The Many Faces of GO v12 Torrent

In 2006 and 2007 a new breakthrough algorithm for computer go (Monte Carlo Tree Search),
was developed in France. This new approach plays thousands of pseudorandom
games each second, and collects statistics on the moves to choose where to play.
With very little go knowledge, this algorithm can beat any of the traditional,
knowledge-based, go programs.

Many Faces of Go, Version 12 is the only program to combine
the new search algorithm
with the go knowledge from Version 11 to get the benefit of
both. It gains strength from Monte Carlo evaluation, but
avoids most of the strange moves. This led immediately to
over five stones increase in playing
strength. At the 2008 ICGA world championship, the pure
Monte Carlo programs
beat all of the traditional programs, and Many Faces of Go
Version 12 beat all of
the Monte Carlo and traditional programs. Ongoing work
since then continues to improve the strength of the program at a rapid
rate.
