Sure, give it a try. I have not tried it myself, but I'm guessing it will not improve your engine. The cost of testing for simple ko is negligible and
allowing it will probably prolong the playouts.

OK, I can understand it now. Thanks.
So do we also can consider of ignore KO's rule when doing game evaluation
(play-out simulation) ?

I want to know one more thing.
If the GO rules standardized on one ruleset that forbid suicide,
At that time, do you still disscuss suicide and use it in game evaluation ?

Suicide issue is discussed here in the context of game evaluation, not game playing. For the purpose of game evaluation, one can do the simualtion anyway one want?to as long as it gives a good evaluation value.

Hi, All. Thank you very much.
So Suicide is legal in Ying and New Zealand rules,
but is illegal in Chinese and Japanese and AGA and CGOS rules,
I have heard Chinese and Japanese rules are the most important rulesets in GO
world.
Then why we are discussing it so seriously ?

Yes. But suicide is legal under Ing (SST) rules, and under New Zealand
rules.
An unscrupulous program, finding itself in a poor position while playing
under Ing or NZ rules, may try to play a suicide move in the hope that
its opponent will refuse to play on. It's generally easy to find a
suicide move: find your opponent's smallest solid eye having more than
one point in it, and on successive moves fill this eye until it is full.
