i wonder if this kind of greediness might, however, be useful for selecting, say, the first move or two in a 9x9 game. the thinking here is that since the endgame is essentially noise at this point, you might as well be greedy before tactics become an issue. that's probably faulty intuition, though.
I believe that I have had some success with an approach like this, actually. I believe that I initially only tally games that are won by a certain margin, and reduce that margin to zero as the game progresses. I am pretty sure that this improves upon straight Monte Carlo. I think that I can get some numbers on it, if anyone is interested.
