When I try AMAF (including RAVE) my program always wants to make early moves on the first and second lines. I've come to look at it as a hallmark of the algorithm. 

To combat this, I use a table with a move number for each position on the board. The program is not allowed to put a stone on that position before that many moves have passed-Unless there is already another stone nearby.
