The option that I'd have researched is: - spot semeai - solve them with a dedicated solver - if a move needs to be played to decide the semeai, favour that move in playouts (i.e. play first with a certain chance). - if a move is played in the semeai that requires a reply to keep winning, favour that reply in playouts. I don't say it would work any better. Just that it would have been first on my list to try.
