AI weighted estimation of future game states should include values for estimated board coverage for resulting positions. This helps reduce decision tree width by combining full tree estimation (including both AI and player moves) with coverage estimation (including only AI moves).
Acceptance Criteria:
Create an estimator for board coverage
Configurable weights should exist for various combinations of: AI, player, and neutral board regions; positions left, in line with, and right of AI or player treasure column; and whether covered square is 1, 2, or 3 moves away.
