Jason,
Gmail has an option "show in fixed width font" that is perfect for
these situations.

I haven't heard of any handling of seki in playouts except for Remi's
CrazyStone. I don't think he's ever given specifics on how he did
it. Maybe
he'll respond to your e-mail?

Here is a position that exposed some bugs in Pebbles. Maybe it
will help
you.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A - O - O X - - X -
B - X O - O X - O O
C - O O - O - X O -
D X X X O O O O O O

F - - O X O X X X X
G - - X X O O X X -
H - O X O - O O X X
J - O X O O - X - X
X to play.
X is already doomed in this position. The bottom O group is in a
seki
with the X group at right. O cannot play J6 self-atari. X cannot
fill
in J8 and then play J6, and after X J6, O captures and X cannot
recapture.
So it will be dual life. Because the top of the board is O's, O have
more than half the board, even without komi.
The playouts have to handle certain issues well in order to find
that.
The first point is to filter out plays that make self-atari on large
groups. This will cause the rest of the board to fill up until only
the seki remains.
The the playout will be in a position like the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A - O - O O - O O -
B O - O - O O - O O
C - O O - O - O O -
D X X X O O O O O O
E - X X X X O X O O
F X X - X O X X X X
G X - X X O O X X -
H X X X O - O O X X
J X - X O O - X - X
X to play.
Pebbles does not detect superko in playouts, so this position will
loop
forever with J6/J8/J7/pass. In Pebbles, infinite games were scored
as
draws. I changed that to give the win to O on the basis of its
preponderance
of material. (No doubt that will bite me at some point.)
Even if we detect the superko repetition, it seems to me that we
are only
getting the right answer by accident. For instance, if X plays J6
then
after J8/J7 there is no move for X, so X has self-ataried himself.
Another possibility if to see that X's J6 is atari and also self-
atari, so
X can look for the approach move. In this case X would play J8
instead of
J6
which avoids the ko. Then the seki is obvious.
How do other programs handle this case?
