My mercy threshold is 27 stones, and this position is not a problem. It
gets the same win rate (10.6%) with or without mercy. The mercy rule makes
about 1.25% faster.

Seems like it needs to not count dead stones, otherwise it will believe that a

I believe you can gain 10%-20% performance on 9x9 using a mercy-rule.
But in its most simple form I don't see how it can be used reliably. I
