Quoting Michael Williams <[email protected]>:


The Valkyria tree is not a pure tree, because a node can have several
parents if more than one sequence leads to a position.

I think this is common, but inadmissable in the strictest sense,
right?  Because the optimal action for a node depends on it's history of
positions thanks to the super ko rule.

What was the word Don used for techniques like this?  I mean techniques that
are not going to lead to perfect play given infinite time and memory.


Yes, you are right. For the next rewrite of Valkyria I actually think i rediscovered some algorithm to solve this but it is painfully complicated to implement.

Luckily it is extremely rare that affect play (I think).
