No, because the algorithm is the same at the start of each game. The
algorithm *teaches*. The matchboxes *learn."
On a side note, I saw a fun idea for an AI game a long time ago. In a
similar vein, the program knew the legal moves and what constituted a win or
loss, and would enforce that. The program would play based on this idea of
wins add probability and loses subtract probability. But the human player
wasn't told the rules. The game was whether you could figure out the rules
and strategies before the game learned well enough to be unbeatable.
