By the way, for mcts you dont need time controls. Each move takes the same amount of time, since you just do n playouts, and choose n as you like.
I think my playouts took 2s, which was enoufht for 40000 playouts i suppose, but it was in novemebr, dont remember clearly... It was obvious that adding more playouts didnt increase the strength libearly, more like logarithmically, or, at best as the square root, and i dont want to program heursitics by hand, not going to get a papet out of that :-) The atari paper looks interesting. Kind of dabbling in that a bit... By the way, for mcts you dont need time controls. Each move takes the same amount of time, since you just do n playouts, and choose n as you like.
