hand tuned. There are rules for not filling eyes, not making self Atari
(unless it is a good self Atari), and avoiding other kinds of bad moves.
When is self atari a good move?

| X X X X O

a is selfatari, but good idea for w to play.
Another examples of interesting selfataris may be one-stone throw-ins to
falsify eyes or setting up snapbacks.

itself is probably not very legible, but the comments contain a lot of
examples.
