The patch at the end should help.

Why are you running at level 1? At level 1 you cannot expect
any accuracy in the answer to this question.

One possible flaw that I see in your approach (I'm only
guessing at what you do, correct me if wrong) is that
if each move is generated by a separate gnugo process then
you are not taking advantage of the persistent caching.
This means that the game will progress a lot more slowly.

Anyway you can't expect much at level 1.

This causes estimate_score to get run without first
examine_position and causes a crash. This patch doesn't
address that.
