One possibility might be your anti-semeai strategy in some situations helps
the weaker side in a semeai.
For example, suppose B wins by 1 liberty in a semeai. The living
percentages of B and W are 80% and 20%. Your anti-semeai strategy might
bias the percentages to 70% and 30%. Though both B and W both become
*stronger* in semeai by your new rules, but the weaker side (W) gains more.
So the *balance* is broken.

To handle semeais in playouts, we might need to introduce on-line learning
rather than relying on static rules.
