It's not clear what do you mean by the "evaluation", and how do you
integrate montecarlo to the rest of your program, so it's hard to
comment. But it takes some time to weed out some pretty basic bugs which
make your program play horribly but yet not make it lose every single
game - watch your program's evaluation and the montecarlo playouts
closely for anything fishy.
