Completely backwards. There is no obvious score function for Go. That's how AlphaGo broke through, it was able to figure out a scoring method to actually accurately gauge how well it was doing so it could learn and improve.
- fooblaster 2y agoIf what you are saying is true, how does anyone know the game is over? there is a clear win condition. I know that just like with chess, knowing the current vAlue of the board is difficult, but win or loss is clear.

It is never as simple as “checkmate” — think more in terms of “mate in three”, except it’s more like “mate in 5-10” in several locations across the board.
