[gnugo-devel] atari_atari & kikashi problems

[Trevor Morris]

Here are some problems that are all related, and worthwhile
to focus on:

ATARI_ATARI (recent fixes make it much better, but here are
a few lingering problems):
  trevord:330
  trevorc:1210
  trevorc:270
  trevorc:440
  trevorc:500
  trevorc:700
  trevorc:800

This is a serious weakness that may be simple to fix.  Pointless (or 
worse) kikashi before saving string:
  trevord:280
  trevord:760
  trevorc:1300
  trevorc:1100
  trevorc:480
  trevorc:540
  trevorc:640
  trevorc:760
Normally GNU Go doesn't make pointless kikashi (i.e. moves with
a followup, but no other value).  However, if the followup threatens
to save a string by capturing a surrounding string, then the kikashi 
gets overvalued - more than saving the group directly.
