i'd like to follow this up by saying that i'm interested
to see if anyone has compared winning percentage
in the following two situations:

i)  maximize probability of win
ii) maximize probability of win until p_win > 1-eps, then maximize
    total score among all moves that give > 1-eps probability of winning.

if ii) gives a lower percentage of wins than i), it'd be an interesting
result in its own right, and if it doesn't, then there's a simple formula
for getting a lot more resignations out of your opponents (not to
mention, it'll give the impression that your program is incredibly strong
whenever it wins).
