The advantage Aadv is given by the absolute ratio of games that the first player wins, above or below the expected 50%: Aadv ¼ jwins1 À ðwinsw þ winsB Þ=2j ðwinsw þ winsB Þ=2 ð4:5Þ 4. Duration: Games should end after a reasonable number of moves; they should not end after only a few moves but nor should they be excessively long or indecisive. Duration is given by the average absolute deviation of each trial game length Mg from the preferred game length Mpref: Adurn ¼ 0 G X jMpref À Mg j G Mpref g¼1 ð4:6Þ A preferred game length of Mpref = 60 moves was chosen for all games, based on the observation that two human players spending 30 s per move would complete such a game in 30 min on average, a figure that experience suggests is reasonable (note that Ludi generally plays much faster than this).

Other unexpected self-learnt strategies to emerge include a preference for the central cell in Tic Tac Toe, a preference for playing along the sides in a game involving leapfrog capture (side pieces cannot be jumped over), a preference for diagonal movement in some games for which this was beneficial (if not immediately obvious), and so on.
