[computer-go] use for Monte Carlo on 19X19?

[forrestc at adnc.com]

It takes some tricky analysis to work out the Japanese score, due to
uncertainty about life/death; likewise it's not easy for a program to
recognize when moving is no longer to its advantage.

How about bringing in a Monte Carlo routine after both players have
passed?--as a scoring referree, set to fill up the board (but avoiding
eye-filling and self-atari except in ko situations) until all legal moves
are played, then either a) Do a Chinese score or b) use information re
which groups are still on the board & where the final borders ended up to
score the actual ending position?
