I once wrote an AI and it couldn''t play TicTacToe worth a damn.

It could play a MEAN game of Global Thermo-Nuclear War though!

Just use "read ahead" and weighted sums. Analyzing future moves won''t take long.

Fantastic psuedo-code, but I think he was looking for a bit more substance... which is in the links we provided.
