poolrave logic

[dsmic]

The poolrave works with quite small numbers of playouts. If I understand it correctly the problem is, that from rave_init_wins this leads to playing only moves, which are fewly played.

e.g. standard is rave_init_wins 5 and playout_poolrave_min_playouts 50. This leads to choosing more or less random moves, as far as I understand it.

Part of the problem is due to my changes (I tried to use only the first 50% of the moves in a playout to calculate the rave value)

I'm not quite sure what the problem here is. Can you please clarify? Do you think playout_poolrave_min_playouts is too low?

I would close, since poolrave did not seem promising. If one starts using it again, it has to be reanalyzed anyway...
