When going down a variation the Hash and other Board-State Information like e.g. the KO-Point are stored on a stack. Starting from the current Top of Stack the detection goes down and search for the same hash-key and Ko-Point. Its the "Repeated Position" Detection method of chess. The Gamestack-Pointer is decremented by 2, one can stop, when a non-capturing move is done (in chess its the other way round).
Non-capturing moves can create repetition (but there will of course be captures elsewhere in the cycle). Fortunately, there are other simple criteria. E.g., you can stop whenever a move is played on an intersection for the first time.
If a SuperKO occurs, the position is evaluated by the Material-Balance. BlackCaptures - WhiteCaptures + Komi.
I guess you mean the *change* in material balance after one cycle. I don't see why komi should be used here.
Probably a better way is to ignore the result.
Only for balanced cycles. Erik _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
