I don't understand what you are saying here.
Here is what I THINK you are saying ...
simple MC with all as first beats "standard" UCT at
19x19 go.
Is that what you mean?
Yes, That is what I meant.
I.e. Noise is so high on 19x19, that You need much more playouts
to have the same confidence about move.
I.e. just look at the numbers - how many playouts each move received
(ni UCT algorithm).

My experience with simple MC is that it does beat
UCT at really fast time controls in 9x9 and I believe,
although I haven't tested it, that simple MC
(with all-as-first) will be superior at 19x19 until
you reach some fairly high number of play-outs.
In the 24 hour tournament I didn't use my MC program
for a couple of reasons, one of them was my concern
about the memory requirements and the other was that
it wasn't clear to me that it would play stronger.
I felt that simple MC might be in it's sweet spot
even though it's not scalable beyond a certain point.
However, I have no hard evidence - it was just a
"hunch" and I did no studies as it was a last minute
decision to enter the tournament.
