DAG's have a problem with graph history, especially with super ko
considerations.  Do you need the parent play for more than ko
considerations?

Subject: [computer-go] firstChild/nextSibling in a DAG

(This is all within the context of Monte Carlo.)

Is anyone storing a search DAG (as opposed to a tree) and using the  
firstChild/nextSibling representation? I'm having trouble seeing how  
this would work, since when you traverse children (e.g., in UCT) you  
have to know which move is associated with which child node. If a  
node might have more than one parent, the node can't store its last  
move.

Any clever solutions?

If not, any opinions (or better yet, evidence) as to whether the  
space savings or the DAG transposition table is more valuable?
