> One thing that is not explained is how to determine that a game is over
You'll find that very little of the literature explicitly covers this. When I asked this question I had to search a lot of papers on MCTS which mentioned "terminal states" before finding one which defined them. Let me see if I can find the actual paper, but they defined it as a position where there are no more legal moves. You're right though, that ignores sekis, which makes me think I'm remembering wrong.
