I don’t understand why the algorithm didn’t pick up on his score in Tetris monotonically increasing—unless he was just such a bad player that the number of rows also monotonically increased?
It did pick up on his score increasing. But you get a few points just for putting a block on top of another block, and the search didn’t look far enough ahead (or wasn’t comprehensive enough) to spot that making lines would give even more points.
