[gnugo-devel] How does gnuGo think?

[John Moser]

Can you give me a rough overview of how GnuGo determines a move to make?

In particular, does it attempt to pick an optimal move, or an optimal
strategy?  That is, does it examine the board on each move and work
out the best move it can; or does it examine the board for interesting
strategic artifacts and build a playing strategy based on that?
