I know suicide can be used as a ko-threat, but are there *any* other
positions where it would be a correct move?

If not, then it makes sense to forbid that in a random playout, since it is
"just" a forcing move, and the (equally) random opponent is quite unlikely to
answer the right way anyway. So the suicide move may look like a better move
than it really is.


I can not think of any situation where filling a one-point eye would be a
correct move (provided that it is a "real" eye and not a "false" one).


Can anyone come with concrete examples?
