So if I understand this correctly, you only allow moves on the 3rd,
4th, or 5th lines to be considered (in both the tree and the playouts)
unless there is another stone within manhattan distance of two?

What would be really interesting is if one of the stronger open source
engines was modified to have this rule on 19 by 19.  It seems like it
should surely help even a stronger engine if it only was applied in
the tree up to some fixed depth and with distance 3.  If the rule
never eliminates the moves that the engine would have picked without
the rule it seems really unlikely to hurt performance.

So I think the results would be more and more interesting the stronger
the base version is.  Is there a rule like this that fits pro play?

Do you have a better formulation of the rule that I could try on the
reference bot?

Basically, in the playouts or move choice I veto any move to the 3rd 4th
or 5th line unless there is a stone of either color within distance 2
manhattan distance.   Another version does 3 manhattan distance.

I am prepared to try any simply formulated variations of this - as long
as it doesn't involve complex pattern analysis.

Correct.

 engines was modified to have this rule on 19 by 19.  It seems like it
 should surely help even a stronger engine if it only was applied in
 the tree up to some fixed depth and with distance 3.  If the rule
 never eliminates the moves that the engine would have picked without
 the rule it seems really unlikely to hurt performance.

In 9x9 the distance 3 did not work as well.  Intuitively, it seems to me
(being a very weak go player) that 3 would be almost perfect and safe.
But I noticed that with 3,  very little is actually cut, perhaps just 2
or 3 moves really early in the opening.   

I have not yet tried distance 3 with 19x19.

I hope you mean that you veto any move *not* on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th line,
unless there is a stone within the limit distance.

Or, to phrase it in other words:
  - Any move on 3-4-5 line is OK
  - Any move close than 2 or 3 points from any stone is OK
  - All other moves are not OK

Yes, I mis-worded it.   Your way of wording it makes it clear.
