Masters theis how hard?

[Maniac Craniac]

Have you ever played go?

No, although I'd like to try it one day. I am a big fan of Gomoku, a game that is played on a Go board, but much more like a monster game of tic-tac-toe than a game of Go.

Gomoku is also solved as a win for the first player, although much more complicated than connect four. You might find it interesting to know that it was also Allis who first solved Gomoku for perfect play, again using a computer algorithm. Smart guy, he is, and a great contributor to one of my favorite hobbies
