The question is what could have triggered the bot to go in cicles, doing berzerk checker moves and then what made it snap out of it...?

If there's an inordinate amount of hitting, which causes tons of checkers to get sent back, then this sort of thing always (or usually) happens. This type of position doesn't come up enough during training (and when it does come up, the time horizon is too long) for the neural net to learn how to play well, so it makes all kinds of strange-looking moves.

Eventually, just by random chance if nothing else, the checkers will move past each other, and the position will turn into a pure race, which the bot will understand (at least in the later stages).
