as far as killing moves are concerned, there's a fairly well-understood set of circumstances for groups with a large "blob" eyespace under which death is guaranteed, life is guaranteed if a ko is won, or death is guaranteed if a ko is lost. i have no idea how to weight the last two, but given that you can determine contiguous eyespace, this might be a cheap thing to code in.
