I have mixed feelings about this. I agree that we should play the best
attack/defense move, even when it is ugly. But when there are two possible
attacks, I still believe we should prefer the one that attacks in good
shape.

I would recommend reducing the shape bonus for big groups, perhaps
proportionally to their size, but never removing it completely.
