Better heuristics would certainly help, but my hope is that local search trees
can be precomputed. It's ok for a top level analysis to try all sorts of goofy
moves, looking for the one tesuji which denies eyespace to a group, but if all
these variations are tried millions of times, it greatly increases the size of
the search tree.
