As part of our testing of dimwit I have set up simple life-and-death
problems by filling out most of the board with stones of the color on
the outside of the problem and by setting the komi so that the result
of the game is effectively whether the group in the problem lives or
not. This has worked surprisingly well for all the problems I've
tried.

Thanks, although if you're referring to
   Modification of UCT with Patterns in Monte Carlo Go [Section 3.3]
   http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/12/15/16/PDF/RR-6062.pdf
I was aware of it already... the way I understood is was that
in some fixed(?) amount of simulations moves were restricted
to the local area and the rest of the simulations were done as
usually while _the objective was all the time winning the game_.

What I'm am curious about is if Monte Carlo Go/UCT has been
used for solving life and death/capturing/connection problems,
in which the objective is to determine whether the proposed
problem has a solution or not?
