I loved this.

A shameless plug for myself and my own investigations into the world of old strategy games - https://tom-dickson.com/blog/trias-game-investigation/ - was where I did an investigation into the game called Trias/ternii lapilli which is like an old version of tic tac toe.

hehe shameless plugs are the best. You often get to find new stuff that way and something of the fun of a community like HN is to get to know about all the interesting stuff that other people are doing. Unless you overdo the shameless plugging ofc.

Also it's funny I remember playing this game you solved, but back with friends in high school during Latin classes haha but without knowing it's name.

Also the algorithm you construct for the AI is pretty similar to what Tiao is using as far as I can tell :)
