That is only the first step.

Then it most likely didn't have the correct answer.  The reason I think the
line/score matter is that even if it plays the correct first move, it can still
easily lose the game if it doesn't follow up properly.  Specifically for the
Nolot test, the point is to find _winning_ combinations.  If the program doesn't
see the combination, or see that it is winning, then it has NOT solved the
problem.
