Great thesis. Many Faces also uses rule-based playouts, so Pachi is not the only rule-based strong program.
You mention that in the playouts you check ataris and extensions to avoid growing a losing ladder. Do you do a full ladder search, or just some local heuristics? Many Faces does not have any ladder search in the playouts.
