Discussion of Problem 1397. Points Game

What's the loser's purpose?
Posted by Ade 19 Feb 2023 13:59
I got a question about the problem description.

In other games, the losers hope to last the game longer for as many turns/rounds/moves as possible.

In this game, is the losers' optimal move to
(1) to minimize the difference,
(2) to maximize theirselves' scores, or
(3) to minimize the opponents' scores?

Or are the 3 goals lead to the same move?

Thanks.
