I don't think there is any huge difference between evaluating cube
decisions and chequer play decision according to score or not.

Of course the cubeless-to-cubeful formulae are slightly more complex for
match play than money play (although I've not seen Oasya's formluae),
but the expensive part is still evaluating the neural net.

The same can be applied for rollouts.

The only thing I can think of is that they might have some code
specially written for money game that outperforms the match play code by
a mile.
