Physics temperature is a macroscopic description (global) of the underlying
(un)-stability, so it comes to mind very quickly :)
Unfortunately the term temperature used in Computer Game theory is misleading
for physicists. CGT-temperature = value of the best move in go, this has
very little relation do with a global description of unstability.
(I propose to ban the term "temperature" from CGT, and replace it by "value",
unless someone can explain the link with temperature in physics, and shows
some identical properties ;-)
This would be confusing. A position in CGT has a value and a
temperature. If you really want to use some other word for temperature,
don't choose a word that already has a different meaning in the same
context.
By the way - I thought CGT stood for "Combinatorial Game Theory".
