Abstract: Monte-Carlo methods are currently the best known algorithms for the game of Go. It is already known that Monte-Carlo simulations based on a probability model containing static knowledge of the game are more efficient than random simulations. Such probability models are also used by some programs in the tree search policy to limit the search to a subset of the legal moves or to bias the search, but this aspect is not so well documented. In this article, we try to describe more precisely how static knowledge can be used to improve the tree search policy, and we show experimentally the efficiency of the proposed method with a large number of games against open source Go programs.
