The burning of ko threats is just a narrow example of what I was talking
about: what's called "aji keshi." That is, the exchange of a threat for a
forced response, prematurely eliminating the potential for more effective
attacks later.

Part of why I doubt you'll get anywhere with monte carlo on a 19X19 board
without some drastic (and highly sophisticated!) pruning of the tree to be
explored.
