Hi Jason, In UCT the monte carlo searches (I find it clearer to call them "the playouts") are always run to the end of the game. So they always accurately (well, as accurate as a random playout can be!) take sente in account. Therefore my understanding is that it does not matter whether they start at an even or odd ply in the UCT part of the tree.
