Suicide is illegal in Chinese rules and Japanese rules, isn't it ?
Yes. But suicide is legal under Ing (SST) rules, and under New Zealand
rules.
An unscrupulous program, finding itself in a poor position while playing
under Ing or NZ rules, may try to play a suicide move in the hope that
its opponent will refuse to play on. It's generally easy to find a
suicide move: find your opponent's smallest solid eye having more than
one point in it, and on successive moves fill this eye until it is full.
