I think you almost have to have either superko or some limiting device in a program with heavy play-outs. I don't know what Magnus does, but Lazarus with heavy play-outs would crash until I artificially limited the length of the play-outs. I probably could have also solved this with a superko rule. So whether it actually helps his program play better may not be very important although I'm interested to see what he says on this. Maybe Lazarus would be a little stronger if I did this too? - Don > > Magnus Persson wrote: > > Valkyria does, because is superheavy anyway!
