I have been wondering about this: If it pays off not to expand a node
until it has been visited 100 times, why not bite the bullet and make
those 100 simulations in one go? That should save a bit of time
traversing the tree up and down. Of course, it means that they all do
get a full 100 simulations, even if the first 90 show a bad result.
But it would make it easier to distribute the job to another thread,
processor, or even another computer.
