Not true. Profession go players read out 20+ moves consistently. Go Seigan's nemesis Kitani Minoru regularly read-out 30-40 moves.
As an AGAAmateur 4 dan I read 10 moves pretty regularly, that's including variations.
And if the sequence includes joseki (known optimal sequences of 15-20+ moves), then pros will read even deeper...
- sawwit 11y agoYes, the latter number was perhaps too conservative; no doubt about deeper predictions being easily possible, but I doubt even expert players consider many alternative paths in the search tree. They might recognize overall strategies which reach many moves into the future, but extensive consideration of what will happen in the upcoming moves is probably constrained to a only few steps; at least relative to the number and depths of paths that AlphaGo considers.
