new bot

NataliaBot can now play 4-in-a-row. It uses a program I wrote a couple of years ago, which I adapted today for the 8x8 board. Please let me know if you spot a blatant bug; I probably forgot to change something in the code. I'm not sure of its strength yet, but it just split two games with me and I'm rated around 1600. You can send an invitation if you want to play. It thinks for 1 or 2 minutes per move. Enjoy! --- Tom

NataliaBot was out of commission for a while, but I recently got her working again.  It's the same code as was running three years ago.  I also have an idea for another heuristic to try, but I will need some time to code that.

If there are no objections, I'm going to post a few games for her to the waiting room.
