 I don't think that. Because when i played a game against it, the move that it
had more probability to be played by me in the future or by it, seemed to have a
bigger density of "lines".
 I should note that i haven't manage to end the game, since when it captured my
Knight it didn't let me to recapture with my Queen. But i was allowed to move
anywhere else. Very fair........:-)
