I remember an old idea (forgot who invented it) to play kind of "anti-human".
IIRC, the idea was basically to introduce an asymmetric evaluation term giving a
bonus to the computer side if it succeeded to open a line. This way one could
attempt to enforce open games even on coast of some positional disadvantage.

But this is very probably too naive against a GM.

Good luck, Uli
