In its first game, Orego tried to play play g3, which is a superko violation, crashing kgsGtp. This is a surprise (and of course, a big disappointment) to me; I believed Orego was handling Superko correctly.

Here's what I think happened:

That move got a high heuristic weighting, probably be cause Orego had gone into the new "coup de grace" mode that suggests playing near enemy stones without too many liberties. The move was never actually tried in the playouts. When it came time to choose a move, g3 happened to have the most wins. I was checking for superko before adding anything to the tree, but not verifying that the "best" move was actually legal.

That's fixed now. Sorry about the inconvenience.
