Has Data been programed with the ability to be a master strategest?

Question

Called the ultimate AI achievement by Q and with an ultimate storage capacity of eight hundred quadrillion bits and a total linear computational speed rated at sixty trillion operations per second, has Data displayed the ability of a top tier strategist?

As example; In “Peak Performance” TNG 2x21 Data beats a 3rd level Strategema Grandmaster from a race feared for their innately strategic minds and in "The Hunted" TNG 3x11, he out-strategizes the genetically enhanced Angosian super-soldier Roga Danar. These are only two of the many examples of his superior strategic prowess.

An example of Data's military strategy programing: From "The Hunted:

INT. DETENTION CELL

Roga and Data are still talking, the atmosphere more
relaxed than before...

                ROGA
        Were you built for combat,
        android?

                DATA
        No. But my program does include
        military strategy... that is how
        I was finally able to anticipate
        your last tactic and capture you.

                ROGA
        You did that? Perhaps you would
        be better at combat than you
        think.

Answer 1

There are examples of Data making poor tactical decisions as well.

• In the episode Cause and Effect, Data's suggestion leads to the destruction of the Enterprise-D - not just once, but several times, for 17 days. Only when the temporal loop gets to a high enough 'feedback level' and the crew can begin messaging themselves in the past (via Data) does he realize that Riker had the superior tactic.

• Data doesn't strictly beat the Strategema player; he loses once and then plays him to a stalemate. While forfeiting could be considered an admission of defeat or an implicit loss, it is 'on a technicality'.

• Troi apparently beat Data at 3-dimensional chess at least once, during the opening scene of Conundrum.

• Data did not appreciate Captain Picard's strategy for escaping the snare in the episode Booby Trap until the slingshot effect had already been executed.

• While meaning well, Data shows an inability to strategize emotionally in the episode In Theory.

• Data cannot replicate his own design, as seen in The Offspring. Nor could he accurately anticipate and account for the cascade failure in Lal's positronic brain.

• Counselor. Troi. Beat. Data. At. Chess.

These and other examples go to show that Data is not infallible in his ability to forecast and/or strategize. While some of these are not 'strategy' in the way we'd think of strategizing a battle plan or a game of Risk, they point out the hole in Data's reasoning wherein emotion and intuition often enter play.

Answer 2

Data has been called the ultimate AI achievement by Q (he should know). He has also been complemented for his fluid tactical ability by a genetically and chemically enhanced Angosian super-soldier, Roga Danar. He has also demonstrated the able to play the difficult strategy game 'Strategema' to a draw against galactically renowned strategist Sirna Kolramia himself, a famed 3rd level Grandmaster from a race feared for their innately strategic minds. It's obvious that Data has been programed to be a master strategist. Maybe not the 'best ever' but obviously programed to be a formidable master level strategist and combat tactician.
