Forgive me if this simple thought has been discussed here before, but
I'd like to share it:

Maybe MCTS-based programs can't show their full potential in handycap
games because of this lazyness effect Ingo has observed.

This night I watched the match Mogo against Kim MyungWan and there were
comments about MoGo's current estimate about its winning probability.
There is also a chart about MoGo's self-asessed winning rate that has
been posted on Sensei's Library:

For more than 150 moves MoGo was over 70% confident to win the game.
Maybe this thought is too human, but I'd say no wonder it plays sloppily.

For this reason I'd love to see an even game against a professional. But
that we can't ask for, probably.
