What enhancements does fuego have over plain vanilla UCT? Also, what hardware are you using? The name seems to imply it's running with 8 cores.
the enhancements are probably similar to what the other programs use: MoGo-like patterns and other heuristics in the playout policy, mercy rule, RAVE, prior knowledge initialization, multi-threading, pondering. The enhancements are configurable and the heuristics pluggable, so you can also run it in plain-vanilla UCT mode for comparison, or test your own playout policy.
The version on CGOS with the name ending with 8c runs on a dual quadcore Intel Xeon 2.5 GHz, 8GB RAM. On 9x9, it doesn't scale so well, so it would probably be not much weaker with 4 cores. On 19x19, the 8 cores might make more difference. I haven't tried it recently.
