Yes, Brian. That’s what I do in Erica.

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
