A good SE is a terribly difficult problem. It more or less amounts to creating a good evaluation function. As the long pre-MC misery has shown, a good evaluation function is very hard to come by. MC in a nutshell is really "avoid evaluation". If resources were no problem, the best way to estimate the score would probably be to have an MC program find the komi that results in a 50% winrate.
