I think what understanding means is a debate in artificial intelligence. Some might say that a computer may be able to speak and respond enough to pass for human but dos not understand language since it is just using an algorithm. A response can be that is what humans do also.
Suppose that player A is good at backgammon mainly due to tremendous memory, calculation abilities, and never losing focus or attention. When asked why a play is correct a common response is "I remember the results of a RO of a similar position" or "I have learned calculation rules to deal with that position type" Does that player understand backgammon?
