Unfortunately now it thinks and thinks while making its first move, and almost locks up Firefox in the process, so the game is now unplayable for me.

You can try reducing Time Limit per Evaluation Batch (ms) (Settings) - If 60 000 to 30 000(30s)

I my tests for 10000iterations(my time limit is 80sec) it takes 90seconds It to make its first move and it manages 8885/10000 iters. (my CPU is 20core i9, mobile computer, browser firefox)

I have an old Core 2 Quad. And since the game remembers its settings, now I can't even open it without it starting right up again, so there's no way to fix the settings anymore.

If the game is left in AvA mode it resets to PlayerVSPlayer on reload.

on mac mini M1 it is a different picture but it runs

Well, yeah, the M1 is famously fast. I'll try again after the next update. That should reset the settings.

You can reset the settings in options...

I can't get to the settings right now since simply opening the game locks up my browser.

The game should default to PvP mode if last played AvA mode ... In private window should open but don't know what is the problem. It is programmed to NOT autostart AvA mode!

I set it to player versus AI though, and unfortunately let the computer play first.

That's a thing I didn't think of. I have re uploaded the file now...

It hasn't helped, but I tried it in a private window, and the AI just keeps thinking way past the 15-second time limit I set. On the plus side, now it doesn't lock up the browser anymore.

I've updated the code. Now the game will always start in PvP on page reload.
You have to lower the iterations count as well, but under 5000 I don't think the results would be very promising... This thing became very CPU hungry!

Basic observations about the game:

  • Board size: 9x9 (small board)

  • Rule set: Chinese

  • Komi: 7.5 (standard for Chinese rules on a small board)

  • Moves: 61 moves total

  • 10000 iterations per move
  • Beginners

If you set 30000 iters/move AI could get stronger.
