摘要
Monte-Carlo tree search (MCTS) is a new technique that has produced a huge leap forward in the strength of Go-playing programs. An interesting aspect of MCTS that has been rarely studied in the past is the problem of time management. This paper presents the effect on playing strength of a variety of time-management heuristics for 19 x 19 Go. Results indicate that clever time management can have a very significant effect on playing strength. Experiments demonstrate that the most basic algorithm for sudden-death time controls (dividing the remaining time by a constant) produces a winning rate of 43.2 +/- 2.2% against GNU Go 3.8 Level 2, whereas our most efficient time-allocation strategy can reach a winning rate of 60 +/- 2.2% without pondering and 67.4 +/- 2.1% with pondering.
