I never tried to optimize stopping, so my stopping rule is very conservative. Many Faces stops at twice the number of points on the board, or if the mercy rule triggers. The mercy rule requires one side to have many more stones on the board than the other (at least 1/3 of the number of points on the board more).

The evaluation function it uses is an improved version of what I made to solve the small boards. I once tried adding the mercy rule, but it did not improve the program.

One possibility is a "mercy threshold": if one player's stone count (which you update incrementally) far exceeds the other, declare the player with more stones the winner. The relevant class from Orego is attached.
