I think that after the AI fixes that went into 3.14, the easy AI feels too difficult now. It'd be good to tune him down.

computer-player: on level one, try to lose

After fixing some AI bugs, it's now just too hard to win. This AI seems
to be easy enough. We could probably make it easier by inverting the
BEST heuristic instead of the PERFECT heuristic, but that seems
unnecessary.

I quite don’t like this approach: it will be visible that the computer tries to lose, that’s not game-y… and well, the “tile difference” approach is not a good strategy at reversi either way. I would really prefer a didactic approach that teach you good moves than that.
