Possible Definition for Target Function V

• if b is a final board state that is won, then V(b) = 100

• if b is a final board state that is lost, then V(b) = -100

• if b is a final board state that is drawn, then V(b) = 0

• if b is a not a final state in the game, then V(b) = V(b'), where b' is the best final board state that can be achieved starting from b and playing optimally until the end of the game.

This gives correct values, but is not operational
