I can just add that I just started to add pattern matching to Valkyria. It is
too early to make any promises but I am certain that I will improve Valkyria a
lot on 19x19.

Depending on what you use patterns for it is ortogonal to MC itself, 
that is any
benefits "classic approach" programs have thanks to pattern matching 
should also
apply to MC programs. And there are perhaps aspects of MC programs that can be
improved with patterns that are unique to MC search as well.
