Hi Hiroshi,

I think the usual procedure is to update only moves by the same
player. However, if you also want to use the opponent's moves (which
is not an unreasonable idea), then you should probably reverse their
sign (because those moves lost), so you only get something like:

> RAVEcount(d) += 1

Best,
Erik
