RE: [Bug-gnubg] Progress

[Albert Silver]

Excellent. Thanks for the results. One question: do you know if this
4.12% improvement is true of the 2-ply play as well? Of course, the
0-ply results are remarkable and important, but the truth is, I analyze
everything with 2-ply and also play GNU on 2-ply alone. The only time I
use 0-ply is for rollouts, so while the 0-ply results help tell me some
of the story they don't tell me all of it. I've wondered whether by
going to 2-ply the program didn't already compensate some blindness or
imprecisions and thus the difference in strength between the 0.12 2-ply
and the 0.14 2-ply would be less. Or would it be even more as the added
improvement increases as each ply of the improved net deepens GNU's
play?
