Questions

  1. Play as many times as you want. The agent never loses. Why?

  2. Can we call the AI player intelligent? Recall our first lecture on definitions of intelligence.

  3. The agent picks k of the 9 starting positions more often than the other 9 − k, to win more often and at worst draw. Any guesses on why those k initial positions are more promising than others?
