After fixing the initial buglets, I decided "dumbot" was way too smart,
so I set about dumbing it down. Guess what? It can't be done. Almost.
As long as the bot recognises a win (or a loss) and looks one ply
ahead, it is damn hard to beat.
My prediction: No human will ever beat "bestbot" |

better make that demi-gods. Thierry, the inventor of Gobblet, defeated
smartbot easily, and defeated bestbot on his third try - but he says
they're very good, just not perfect. |

I beat bestbot today. The game was GB-BestBot-khan-2006-07-13-1745. I used an always-capture strategy, similar to thierry's method in the game he won against bestbot (GB-thierry-BestBot-2006-05-27-2124).
You can see both games at <http://boardspace.net/gobblet/gobblet-viewer.shtml>. |

| Smartbot could be beaten easily once you grasp the main principles of the tactics. Bestbot could be beaten also - actually I think it was programmed to randomly make dubious moves time to time, at least in initial stage. |

Yep. All the robots make less than optimum moves in the opening stages, so they don't always play the same game. |
