I don't think you can "see 25+ moves ahead" in Go. The branchout factor is just too big.
- dfan 10y agoWell, stouset is talking about chess, but in Go, Monte Carlo Tree Search plays out all the way to the end of the game; it just does so in a much less exhaustive way, for exactly the reason you mention.

- skj 10y agoOne of the nice things about Go is that branches rejoin quite a bit, mitigating some of the branching factor concerns.
- rockdoe 10y agoYou can prune more effectively. Download a program like Leela and let it analyze some positions. You'll get very deep mainlines just like in chess.
