Alternative(s) to XGR++ for cube decisions

I think that being a truncated rollout plus XG not evaluating the containment side highly enough (a known weakness) may contribute to its misevaluation.

Obviously a setting higher than 4-ply will play this better but 3-ply with a long enough truncation gets closer to the truth.

I tested all odd truncations from 9 to 19 and this was the first closest to your rollout.
