Hi David, "quite light" is a bit vague, and I got the impression you were using the classical many faces knowledge, at least the tactical search information, in your playouts? What do your program's playouts think when presented with the board position in the article? This is a terminal position, both players have passed, a comfortable white win, yet pure random playouts think black will win more often.
