- glaberficken 9y agooh wow! thanks for the link So, if someone out there can explain, is a program like AlphaGo deterministic? Meaning if the opponent plays the exact same moves in 2 consecutive games will the 2nd game be a replica of the first? My naive guess is that the MTC search part of the algorithm will necessarily introduce some variation in play, no?
