UPD: it's working now

I think i might be the most dedicated player

I appreciate the support! I always love showing this game to people and playing a couple of rounds on a whiteboard. Knowing that someone out there appreciates it like you have fills me with joy. ^^

Lol I literally made a 3 page word document on different strategies and found a strategy that always beats the Monty AI.

You might actually have a more thorough analysis of this game's strategies than anyone else in the world... If you wanna share it, I'd love to see it!

sure why not, i cant rn though ill do it later

This is awesome! I'll add one more technique for you, which might be a bit more useful on a 5x5 board:

Breaking Combos - Instead of capturing a combo, place a low value in the corner. By not capturing, you take away their ability to recapture, forcing them to defend the combo or risk losing it.

The bots can be a little greedy, I wanna try to make another bot that plays a bit more analytical at some point.

ive been playing almost completley on the 3x3, i havent tried the other sizes much. certain techniques dont work well on bigger boards. Also its crazy how i wrote a 3 word document analyzing a game that lasts about 7 seconds per match

noice game, wish more people talked about it. will definetley come back

turns out there is a decent amount of strategy, after about 5-10 games i beat the thinker

neat game, i wonder how much strategy you could have in this. im gonna do a little analysis and see how much there is
