Since the komi contains a half point, there should be almost no ties, and between two perfect players, one color will always win by half a point.
In your scalability study, as the number of playouts goes up, is there a bias toward one color winning more than half the games? If so, it would show that the programs are getting close to optimal play. If they are close to optimal play it would explain the scaling curve flattening out.
