Well maybe Sylvain is willing to answer some related
questions of mine. Mogo seems to be much stronger then
the rest, so I am more then curious what is more important:
1) A clever "random" playaout (I assume this is called
   a proper distribution now?)
      OR
2) Clever things within the UTC tree and/or above that.
   (Go knowlegde, selectivity etc.)

And: is the answer the same for 9x9 and 19x19 boards?

Thanks,
