[Computer-go] monte carlo search; all valid moves?

[folkert]

Hi,

For a monte carlo search, are only valid moves performed? Or does it
work from beginning to the end of a playout using whatever free position
is available on the board?

Because I read here that people can do 25k playouts per second while my
program can only do ~ 20 per second when doing full validity checks on
all steps.
