I think explaining your own actions in games is a weird thing to ask for. It requires "aboutness" (that you're thinking about the problem). Aboutness is a really inefficient way to handle problems, but it's handy because we can apply it to all new situations, because we have general intelligence. Conversely, when humans have trained hard at a task, they generally lose aboutness, like an ANN. Things are done on instinct, feeling etc. In short, the NN has been trained, and general intelligence is no longer required to do the task. Indeed, it's been superseded.
More damningly for this kind of survey: Aboutness for a single task is not the same as general intelligence. And it's general intelligence that we want.
