    Deep Green is now running again, and on a better link, so responsiveness should be much improved.

    Deep Green is temporarily down. I hope to bring it up again soon.

    A new version is available with a fine-tuned evaluation function. It is by no means perfect but it seems to play quite a reasonable game now.

    The user interface and the game engine are implemented and working. The AI is working although it is not very good yet.

    The search algorithm is a simple minimax search with alpha-beta pruning. A simplistic attempt at move ordering is made based on a cell value table. The evaluation function takes into account a cell value table and mobility.
