I was thinking about this and wanted to make sure I understand what
you mean by 'cannot be deterministic'.
For example a stone gets put into atari and it finds an escaping
move. With plain playouts the stone gets captured anyway roughly 50%
of the time. With heavy playouts it gives a weighting so that the
chance of escaping becomes larger? Or does it always play the
escaping move and just the rest of the playout is random?
