This is by design. Pachi maximises the chance of winning, not the number
of points. But if you want Pachi to win by more points while increasing
the risk of losing, you can simply increase the parameter val_scale. See the
description in uct/uct.c: "How much of the game result value should be
influenced by win size. Zero means it isn't". The default value is 0.04,
which is the result of tuning. (If you increase val_scale above this it starts
losing more.)

Why should this value be static? Shouldn't the behavior change when there is a 
certain win?
