On 19×19, it can hold a KGS 2d rank on modest hardware (Raspberry Pi, dcnn) or faster machine (e.g. six-way Intel i7) without dcnn. When using a large cluster (64 machines, 20 cores each), it maintains KGS 4d and has won e.g. a 7-stone handicap game against Zhou Junxun 9p. By default, Pachi currently uses the UCT engine that combines Monte Carlo approach with tree search; UCB1AMAF tree policy using the RAVE method is used for tree search, while the Moggy playout policy using 3×3 patterns and various tactical checks is used for the semi-random Monte Carlo playouts. MM patterns are used in the tree search. Technical information (only slightly dated) about Pachi's architecture and algorithms can be found in Petr Baudis' Master's Thesis. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hEz9RJfzdw
