There's still one problem... The description of HB04 says "Old version 0.4 of HouseBot. Uses MC/UCB, no UCT". In reality, it does not do MC (or UCB) at all. It votes on moves based on simple heuristics such as descending to protect a group's skirt, placing stones in atari, forming benson unconditional life, etc... It's 1-ply logic like UCB, but has absolutely no MC element. That's why it plays blazingly fast... Games of HB04 vs. IdiotBot have been known to finish in seconds.
