Did you try playing out semeais at the border of mc tree and playout?
Or would that be too expensive?
I think at that point even a fairly naive trading of moves could improve the accuracy of the playout.

    By the way, has anybody tried the most basic way to settle semeais in
    playouts? I mean:
    * Spot semeais (not basic at all, but probably necessary for
    almost all
    approaches).
    * Play all the moves in the semeai before going to usual playouts.


We've tried several things around that:

1) play the semeai first
- spot semeais (not that hard after all, from statistics on simulations)
- solve them with a dedicated solver
- play the moves which simplify the semeai before the rest of the Monte-Carlo part

2) discard simulations
- spot semeais
- solve them with a dedicated solver
- discard simulations which propose a result which is not consistent with the dedicated solver

3) add expertise (positive for semeais that should be played immediately, negative for others)

Some of the experiments are here:

and there's nothing which works, even on very simple semeais :-) as many people in this mailing list have tried similar things and failed as well I start thinking that I'll die of old age before someone solves this :-) (and I congratulate in advance the person who will
solve that :-) )

Best regards,
Olivier
