A couple of months back I wrote an article on why I believe UCT with random playouts (as opposed to heavy playouts) will never give a strong computer go program. I've finally got it finished, edited and published: http://dcook.org/compgo/article_the_problem_with_random_playouts.html
I'd be surprised if the UCT experts on this list will find much new there, but I hope some people will find it of value. Thanks to Magnus Persson for reviewing an earlier version.
