I saw your question for feedback so here is some.

First of all clippy is your friend:

warning: this `.fold` can be written more succinctly using another method
  --> src\ai.rs:31:10
   |
31 |         .fold(0, |a, b| a + b); //.expect("If no distance was here, we couldn't have won or lost.");
   |          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: try: `sum()`
   |
   = note: `#[warn(clippy::unnecessary_fold)]` on by default
   = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#unnecessary_fold

You can find clippy here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy. On the same note rustfmt is very nice as well.

Otherwise I have tried to leave feedback inline. If you have any more questions feel free to reach out. And a very very nice first project for a new Rust user, a lot of moving parts and a lot of logic that is tricky to get right. So very good job!

I really appreciate it! Thanks for the tip with clippy.

The comments are super helpful, I'm grateful for the work you put into this.

Also cool trick when placing the initial pieces, never thought of that, it's really neat :)

I feel it's much more idiomatic now, and I learnt a lot of new functions from this, thanks!
