darkforestGo is an early deep-reinforcement-learning Go engine that combined a convolutional policy/value network with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to play the full 19×19 game at a strong amateur level. The system couples fast GPU policy inference with CPU or GPU-assisted tree search so priors from the network guide exploration while search refines local tactics. Training pipelines mix supervised learning from human professional games and self-play fine-tuning, allowing the model to learn...
