RE: [Bug-gnubg] Even, odd and half plies (WAS: New Contact Net Error Rates)

Hi Nis,

I would like to check my understanding of what you are
suggesting for reduced evaluation.

My understanding of the current implementation is that
we sample (striated, as much as possible) from the leaf
nodes.  So a 100% 1-ply evaluation averages over 36
(computationally optimized to 21, but let's use the 36
basis) best next plays; a 33% 1-ply evaluation averages
over 12 best next plays.

My understanding of what you are suggesting is that we
do this, and combine it in a weighted average with the
0-ply evaluation.  

Is this right?

David
