Question: Why does the number of hits sometimes go up when I add a stone to the search pattern? Answer: MasterGo searches by pattern and not by move order. For example, You can input a very normal pattern in a nonsensical move order, and never see ANY hits until it is complete. Or you can look at a 3-4 invasion to a 4-5 point, which is the same as the more frequent high approach to a 3-4.
