In fact, that's because I had seen that suggestion (maybe not from you), that I further looked into this particular form. And by particular, I mean f(score). My point, though, is that you would probably get weaker, unless you set K of the order the number of playouts, in which case the effects are cursory except in very imbalanced situations. I think we cannot beat 0-1 (except with the problems of nakade) by such easy means, and not at all if the number of simulations at one node is high.
