Abstract
This paper discusses the intricacies of a Phantom-Go program. It is based on a Monte-Carlo approach. The program called Illusion plays Phantom Go at an intermediate level. The emphasis is on strategies, tactical search, and specialized knowledge. The paper provides a better understanding of the fundamentals of Monte-Carlo search in Go.
