I don't agree with this. You can handle openings by using a pre-computed book.
If you think about it, this is actually how humans handle openings. There is an opening theory, to which huge amount of analysis(pre-computation) was done. Even professionals don't do impromptu opening analysis over the board.
On the other hand, in my opinion computer tactics are nowhere close to professional level. Not even close.
- hyperpape 13y agoOpenings can't be handled by a pre-computed book. What we humans call the opening can be 40 moves, and professional games often feature unique moves within the first 10-20 moves. The situation with regard to the opening is quite different from chess.

- conanbatt 13y agoThe approach of trying to repeat the human process for pattern recognition is probably the main reason why bots were so weak until it was decided by a few computer scientists that Go should also be battled with brute force. In one of the Zen vs Takemiya(?) or other professional games, the bot manages to kill a group by the professional with razor-sharp precision, including several tesujis. They excel at local tactical situations, and in terms of killing groups in a big board, they are excellent at poaching eyes.
