I believe it's not a good idea just to store the number of stones of a conditionally alive string - what you really want is a good estimation for the endgame value of capturing / escaping, which can be quite different depending on how much points, influence or nearby weak groups are effected by this. The good news is that I beliebe MC-simulations could be used for a better guess of the value, but I don't have details of that idea yet..
