You can code up a basic MC player in less than a day. I don't think non-go programmers are very likely to provide an implementation anyway but they are free to. We can provide support for anyone that wants to and we can advertise this. A real simple reference implementation should be provided. It should not be written to be fast, but real clear and easy to understand at a glance and well commented. - Don > Perhaps some game with similar game tree properties but less complex > logic would be a better choice.
