Then is this the condition? If a move X by your color is immediately after a
Ko capture by the opponent and immediately before a Ko capture by your
color, then do not count X in the RAVE update.

Honestly, I have no good method to detect a ko threat now. I guess that's
why I got only 30 Elo in my experiment. Anyway, all we know for sure is that
a ko threat must exist between two ko captures (the latter one might be
resolving a ko). The principle is that these ko threats must not be updated
in the nodes before opponent's ko capture.

Subject: [Computer-go] Aja's PhD thesis: Question about RAVE+ Ko Threat
 
In your heuristic for adjusting RAVE for Ko threats, how is the "ko threat"
identified?
 
The following conditions seem required:
 
    1) You cannot capture the Ko on this turn because the opponent captured
last turn.
    2) You make a move somewhere.
 
But are these the only conditions? For example,
 
    - no requirement that a Ko exist in the current node (that is, the node
in which RAVE is being updated)
    - no requirement that the "ko threat" actually threaten anything
    - no requirement that the "ko threat" occurs within the tree (rather
than the playout)
 
Thanks,
Brian
