This makes no sense to me. Most of us are working on how to improve the quality of the quasi random simulations and you are considering to allow the worst moves.
Your eye rule probably keeps this from getting completely out of control, but I would say allowing any suicide should greatly increase the games lengths, not reduce it. - Don On Thu, 2007-02-08 at 10:45 -0500, Chris Fant wrote: > When I added code to by bot to prohibit single-stone suicide in the MC > playouts, I saw about a 200 ELO point gain plus an increase in pps due > to the shorter games.
