My idea is rather to better deal with "extreme situations" - when most
differences between various moves in a situation are so small that they
are lost in the noise (precise definition of when we consider the
situation extreme can vary, I explore multiple approaches). Then the
opening in handicap game would be a special case of this, but also any
other situation in the game where the program wins/loses by a lot.
