Be carefull about the term 'random'. When the game ended, does it counting the 
score randomly??If so, it throws the rules of the game out of the window. How 
can it improve with the depth? If not, then it's not completely random. As?Don 
mentioned earlier, if the?evaluation function can evaluate the end score 
correctly and the?search?depth?is reachng the game end, the so called 'random' 
evaluation becomes a 100% correct evaluation function.??
