A human player would not play "a random move;" the likelihood of a playing
a ladder-breaker would be high. The opponent would then have to consider
whether to
capture the ladder or respond to the ladder-breaker in some other way.
Higher-level players and those with experience programming Go can surely offer
improvements.
