It's the second one, but in some languages there are variants leaning towards 
the first one (e.g. in Portuguese) or even different like xозе (e.g. in 
Spanish).

There are AIs which keep state and there are others which don't. I don't 
really have a preference, but usually no state needs to be kept for board 
games.

Without state:
  aimove(x, y) = calculate_aimove(board[][], colour)
With state:
  move(colour, x, y)
  aimove(x, y) = calculate_aimove(colour)
(plus error handling)

I've filled the page a bit more:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Architecture/KDE4/KGGZ

If anything is still in doubt I'm going to update it accordingly.
