You should never play suicide, whether multiple or single stone in the play-out portion of the search - ESPECIALLY when it's not legal anyway in the rule-set you are using.
Although suicide can occasionally be the best move in some rule-sets, I think it weakens your program to include it, even in the UCT tree portion of an MC search. If the rule-set allows suicide, I believe it's best to just let your program accept suicide moves from the opponent. - Don On Wed, 2007-02-07 at 13:23 -0800, Christoph Birk wrote: > On Wed, 7 Feb 2007, Chris Fant wrote: > > Your paper does not mention suicide.
