Status

Project Status: Inactive – The project has reached a stable, usable state but is actively developed only infrequently; support/maintenance will be provided as time allows.

This program doesn’t actually play perfectly yet – I know that its heuristics can be improved. But it’s still good enough to have beaten every human I have ever tried it against.
