For someone like me who's not really into chess nor Jeopardy, I find this much more exciting than Deep Thought's matches. Here, without ever really thinking about strategies for Jeopardy before, I can easily spot Watson's. Eg. it tried to "kill off" Daily Doubles early on by picking bottom up (and boy did it got lucky) so the humans won't have a chance to double up later to re-coupe or take a huge lead. After it found the Daily Double, it keeps picking low value tiles. I think the strategy is that if time runs out (time can run out for a round back when I was watching the game like 10 years ago), high value tiles which are more dangerous to Watson then lower value ones may be skipped.
