Very weird game!

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry when playing through this game! Some of
Beadle's move make me cringe, but others were pretty pleasing. I try to program
lambChop in such a way that it can understand positions where non-typical things
are happening, sometimes it works and the games are cool (and sometimes weird as
well), other times it doesn't work and the games can look really bad.
