No, 'habitue is correct. This new blog post says that the new software no longer does game readouts and just uses the neural net.

That's not what Monte Carlo Tree search is. The new version is still one neural network + MCTS. There's no way to store enough information to judge the efficiency of every possible move in a neural network, therefore a second algorithm to simulate outcomes is necessary.

Read the white paper. MCTS is still involved, right the way through.
