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. ^^
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

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