Original post by Rockoon1 Thus I would explore some some of certainty heuristics revolving around territory: How certain is it that this territory belongs to white? Now, how you go about implimenting such a certainty heuristic .. well it sounds like pattern matching to me.

To mee too. Then again, i like to think that learning is about remembering what leads where and what's the goal, which is associations with goal. I think certainity system descriped above could be done with associating board positions, made moves and ens results together in a fine tuned way. How to fine tune such a linked system is another story that i have no clue about. :P
