I just wanted to note that without any heuristic it played a tie
quite consistently at 100 iterations. I do not see how any not
bad heuristic can make that worse - if it fits nicely with other
statistics and UCT that is. Apparently it does not fit very nice.
I think this is the problem, not the heuristic itself, but of course
I'm not sure, there may as well be a simple bug somewhere.
