explore
And it evaluates the goodness of its behaviors, based
on how much reward is getting

26. #TODO @Manuel: Add code here

28. Policy ImprovementPolicy Improvement

29. 1. Plan in the future
2. Try new actions

30. Monte-Carlo Tree SearchMonte-Carlo Tree Search

31. MCTS is an algorithm to perform sampling based
lookahead search.

34. With the backup operation we keep track of:
N(s,a) visit count
Q(s,a) mean action value

39. How well am I doing?

40. 1. Clone yourself and ght!
2. As the Yous battle, observe the ght
3. Use those experiences to improve further

42. How is it implemented in python?How is it implemented in python?
def play_against_yourself(game, player_mcts):
...
board = game.reset()
while not terminal:
act = player_mcts.pick_move(board)
board, r, terminal, opp_act = game.step(action)
training_samples.append((board, player_id, act))
