5x1000 games, no opening book, Fuego svn version 1467.
Number of simulations varied from 3K (3000) per move to 300K.
I was interested in whether the recent fix to allow Fuego to play for draws 
with integer komi worked, and whether the number of draws increases with longer 
searches.

Here are the results:

  3K simulations: 9.5% draws, 52.4% wins by Black
 10K simulations: 8.8% draws, 47.7% wins by Black
 30K simulations: 11.2% draws, 49% wins by Black
100K simulations: 10.6% draws, 45.9% wins by Black
300K simulations: 13.8% draws, 46.1% wins by Black

So there seems to be a slight increase in draws. It is interesting that Black 
has an advantage, e.g. with 300K White wins only 100-13.8-46.1 = 40.1%.

I wonder how to do the similar test with an opening book. We now have a quite 
large book for 7.5 komi, and a smaller book for 6.5 komi. Using the 7.5 book 
with a komi of 7 for White will make the program equally happy with a 
draw-or-win while in the book. Using it with Black will make it try to avoid 
draws.

Of course, we could build a new book with 7.0 komi. But it would be nice to be 
able to control between "must-win" and "happy-with-draw" situations.
