If I set this up correctly, the black center group is "unconditionally" alive,
even if it was white's turn, while playouts with Gobble-style pseudo-eyes
will rate it as unconditionally dead (and hence the white strings 'c' and 'd'
as unconditionally alive, independent of conditions on the outside). Playouts
with Olga-style pseudo-eyes would fare better, but would be fooled into
considering fill-in at 'a' after white 'b'. Playouts with Oleg-style pseudo-eyes
have a chance of finding the black group alive, in case of black 'b' first.
Did I set this up right? And why does no-one else seem worried about it?-)
Has anyone tried or considered trying this idea: Select a random eye definition at the start of each playout? Or perhaps a weighted random selection if you
have some information about how to weight them.
