me to be characterised by an unappealing degree of hard work and frustration.

Look out for future versions which will have ever-increasing amounts of luck
hardcoded in. This direct infusion of good fortune is possibly the
"breakthrough" in micro chess that we've all been looking for. Basically, the
algorithm essentially involves stripping out most of the search, and iterating a
software implementation of an I Ching generator 7 times per node.

Experimental results have been shaky, but I remain confident, having recently
connected a four-leaf clover to my USB port.
