None of the above! There are no advantages to allowing suicide, it is simply expensive for me in terms of speed to forbid it in playouts. If this is not the case for your board structure then you will probably want to forbid suicide. Leela does not allow suicide in the GUI and the engine itself will also never suicide in games. -- GCP _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
