Yep agree that, knowing that it is not fair for other but kind of
rationalized it that it is same for both players and there is half
chance
that other player tries it before. I kind of think that it keeps
spirit of "random" result still because it is same for both players
I think this is very wrong, like allowing suicide.
If you allow (or forbid) moves that cannot really (should) be played
in the
random games you are not sampling the true status of the board.
This is very different from null-move where one tries to get a lower
estimate of the board position by allowing an extra move at the
BEGINNING, but not during the playout.
