A better approch?

In Response To: A better approch? (Tom Keith)

I prefer your "if the rollout can be extended to an arbitrary length..." approach. (Please fix the wording if it's too vague, rigorous mathematicians.)

On the subject of "what are the chances that an arbitrarily long rollout would lead to play X being best?", I asked about this approach many years ago (now in the black hole of GammonU archives) and D. Zare said he wished (or would look into -- don't remember exactly what he said) of doing a multiple dimension integral in Mathematica. I concluded my request had a solution but it wasn't a simple one.
