I'm quite interested in how many of the methods employed in this AI can be applied to more general strategic problems.

From talking to a friend who did quite a bit of work in machine composition, he was of the opinion that tools for handling strategy tasks like go would also apply strongly to many design tasks like composing good music.

I think the basic method could be applied to a more general engine like that of Zillions of Games. And having an engine that plays any kind of strategy game well would be astonishing.
