I did it! I ran! ^-^

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.

You might actually have a more thorough analysis of this game's strategies than anyone else in the world... If you wanna share it, I'd love to see it!

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. ^^
