Groupie killed by Richard Heathfield's chopper.

Hey there, write a robot to play gomoku!

I've got three robots now, "groupie" by me, "jon3" by Jon Sendall and "chopper" by Richard Heathfield. I would have had Andy's player as well, but I... um... lost it. (If you don't know who these people are, don't worry.)

So, I put the three players against each other and saw who would win a tournament. (And why not?) jon3 won overwhelmingly against both groupie and chopper. In the battle for second place, groupie won 49 games against chopper's 51 wins! Eeek! So close!

So, by the barest of margins, I got trounced into last place. I shall now console myself that at least I can beat the random robot quite consistently.
