That might be a problem. The prototype will hopefully show such problems. Since it will consider good moves the as well as bad ones because it balances exploration and exploitation (good moves), I don't fear that problem too much. My biggest concern: not finding terminal states at all because if you don't systematically attack you can play ow for ever. By default mcts is heuristic free, if I don't find terminal states I have to add heuristic to bias the search... a lot more work.
