Artificial Intelligence

The Artificial Intelligence is based upon the Perfect Strategy laid out in the Wikipedia article. It currently implements most of the strategy with the exception of the Fork and Block Forks steps. While there is room for improvement to increase the opportunity for the Computer player to win, my manual testing has shown that the game will always win in either a Draw or a Computer Victory.
