But what are actually your reuse rates? With the standard UCB1 formula,
I find reusing branches from earlier trees give relatively insignificant
number of extra playouts, at least with p=0.2 (I find that using lower p
values leads to very deep UCT trees, but the choice of moves being read
out is _very_ noisy). Maybe this is much better with RAVE or such?
