It's not the same rule set though. The rule set they evaluated the AI on isn't one of the ones that it supports.

Edit: This is confusing for some people because there are essentially two rule sets with the same name, but Tromp-Taylor rules as commonly implemented for actual play (including by Katago) involves dead stone removal, where as Tromp Taylor rules as defined for Computer Science research doesn't. One might argue that the latter is the "real" Tromp Taylor rules (whatever that means), but at that point it is obvious that you are rules lawyering with the engine authors rather than doing anything that could reasonably be considered adversarial policy research.

Thank you for the clarification.
