MOGO

Keywords: Computer Go - Monte-Clarlo - UCT

Functional Description

MoGo and its Franco-Taiwanese counterpart MoGoTW is a Monte-Carlo Tree Search program for the game of Go, which made several milestones of computer-Go in the past (first wins against professional players in 19x19, first win with disadvantageous side in 9x9 Go). Recent results include 7 wins out of 12 against professional players (in Brisbane, 2012) in 7x7, and recently an optimization of the random seed which brings a significant improvement in Go and (unpublished) on the difficult case of phantom-Go. However, the work in the UCT-SIG has now shifted to energy management.
