My experience is that without simple ko checking, games ended in infinite loops where the ko was the only move left. They'd just go back and forth capturing the lone stone... > With simple ko checking, around 3% of games ended in infinite loop with > double ko. Double ko's should not have an infinite loop. black takes ko A. White takes ko B. Black can't retake ko B, so must fill ko A. White then fills ko B. No infinite loop... The only time I've had issues with this stuff was when my anti-eye-filling rule was broken.
