Flaws in Milhouse’s Play
While debugging some more challenging positions from The Checker Maven, I encountered the following position which seemed to be giving Milhouse fits.
In debugging the preferred line, it seems to be stuck in a short repeating cycle which it views to be best. In reality, the repeated positions should be viewed as draws, which should be enough for them to reject the line, since the database knows that the line is a win. But my program does nothing to detect repeated positions (I briefly flirted with it, but didn’t like the implementation, so I discarded it.) I’ll have to figure this out to solve positions like this.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.

Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
