-1.0
I thinks it's the source of your confusion. A MC program makes
"silly" moves when it thinks it will definitely lose; but it
does so even if the margin of loss is only 0.5 pts.
But here you are missing the point that close to 0% winning
probability means that it cannot win against random play. The opponent
could lose only by killing his own groups.
