As far as estimators go, I've seen various algorithms written up in the 
A.I. community, such as life or death calculators, etc.  It seems as 
though a good position evaluator like that would be the heart of a 
go-playing computer program.

So how good is the one you have to use? In other words, is it a 
parimutuel algorithm trying to fix odds on the outcome, or is it just 
counting territory if the game stops now?

Just curious.  Sounds like fun to write.
