About rollout seed

A quick note about the seed for rollout:

the final seed for the rollout's RNG is based on

  • the seed picked in the options
  • a hash of the initial position

So your second RO did not use the same dice seed than your 1st one.

It seemed important to include the hash of the position so that you never risk to pick a seed that can lead to constant side effect (for instance if the seed happens to generate more double in the short term for second player: all short RO for race would be showing lower equity for the 1st player)
