> It's mainly useful to help understand the rules, as in your case.

I agree.

[spoiler alert]

I tried with 2 or 3 moves per turn. My strategy was to advace in diagonal to have a lot of space in tha back, and keep some distance from the oponent. When it advances, I wall the pieces. If it doesn't advance I fill my backshard space. With 2 or 3 it's humanly learnable in 10 minutes. I imagine that 7 moves would be much ore complex, but sadly I have no time now.

Perhaps you can progem the bot to advance more in the first few turns. (Assuming my strategy is good.)

Your strategy is definitely good — capturing territory to fill it later when advancing doesn't make sense is important. 7 moves are more complex, but much less so when playing against the bot.

Your suggestion about making the bot eager to advance makes sense, thanks. Hope you'll play a few times against a human opponent in the future:)

Two small sugerstions:

* Make a small pause as if the bot is thinking each move. Probably .1 or .2 seconds is enough and not boring. We made a few games a long time ago, and a small pause makes it easier to understand the rules.

* When the game finished, I still can see my token as if I can draw it. It's very confusing until I notice the congratulations message. Don't show the token whe the game ended.
