OK, I have changed it so that it now prunes nodes with low simulation counts 
instead of preventing the creation of new nodes.  It works better now.  Thanks.

Yes, it is a hard limit. If it has been exceeded, nodes cannot be expanded into more nodes. I am not removing any nodes.

Hi;
the "node limit" is a hard limit on the number of nodes ?
if yes, when you reach this limit, what do you do - you remove some nodes with small number of simulations ?

    My engine is basic UCT+MC.  I've been letting it ponder on small
    empty boards with a certain komi to see if it begins to converge to
    the correct position value.  It does as long as the tree is allowed
    to grow.  But as soon as the tree reaches its node limit (with
    simulations continuing), the position value begins to go back toward
    0.5 (where 0 represents a white win and 1 represents a black win).
     I would have expected the convergence to the correct value to
    continue at a slower rate or maybe just stay the same.  Is this a
    bug or can this effect be explained?
