But if you are taking the vacant points out it is probably not too biased as you say.
Yes, that's the key point -- almost all vacant points are legal.
But what I do is pretty fast. Always choose a random point but keep shrinking the list. When a point is occupied move it out of the way so it's never selected again. You have to do some simple bookeeping - basically swapping the position of elements and shrinking the list (in your terminology, maintaining a set of empty points.)
If I understand you correctly, I'm doing the same thing -- maintaining the list of vacant points incrementally. Whenever there is a capture, I just add the captured points to the list.
