I was allowing single-stone suicide. I fixed it in the Stonedxk_a bots. Their ratings should be better. And they are faster since the playouts are shorter. I wasn't sure if it would be worth it to check for multi-stone suicides. I'm not tracking actual liberty counts, only pseudo-liberties.

[computer-go] ladders in MC playout games

I have a design question about playout logic in Monte-Carlo games. If a ladder starts in a playout game, should it be played out to the end always/sometimes/never? I'm talking about purely external nodes, not what happens in the tree search. Clearly the last option (determining which color

for each move you play in the random games: 1. Choose a move randomly from the whole list. 2. if the move is legal play it. 3. If the move is illegal - put it away so it doesn't get selected again and repeat at step 1. Yeah, that's what I do. _
