I use a Gnugo binary for testing the Monte Carlo engine, but I did not use
Gnugo for testing any older version of Many Faces. I've never looked at
Gnugo's source code. Since I published descriptions of Many Faces'
internals before Gnugo was developed, I suspect that some ideas from Many
Faces are

Generally, the playout stops when there are no more "valid" moves remaining. Where "valid" means not playing inside 1-point eye. You can also terminate a
playout if one player is winning by a large margin (known as the mercy rule). And you must set a max playout length because some games will g
Almost any strategy other than playing out all legal moves
involves a lot of hand waving that is unlikely to be
accepted as a proof. There are just too many cases where
a pitch inside a captured space has global effects.
Completely solving small goboards seems like a strange quest to me.

I disagree. I think Bronstein is the best time control
system. Players have fixed time per move, plus a
pool time that can be used at the moves you want.
