The question here is not about UCT(yes, it gaves the same rusults as 
alpha-beta). It's about MC scoring. It has not been proved that MC score will 
generate the optimum play with large enough simulation.
 
Now the best super computer uses about 500,000 CPUs, which is 2 to the 18th 
power of computation increase. Don's curve can be tested to the number 18 now.

UCT has been proven to converge to optimum play.  Read some of the
papers.
