* What's this game?

Crunchy — A brand new game created by Francis.
He wanted to make Omok (a.k.a. Gomoku) more interesting by adding a very simple rule — Crunchy rule.

* Rule

Crunchy rule — One can clamp the enemy's two successive stones in any directions if any. Feel free to capture those stones.

(1) Firstly making five stones in a row —> victory
(2) Firstly getting 10(ten) captured stones —> victory

* Estimated Winning Probability (EWP)

EWP is basically about the odds of MARIAI's winning over the opposing player. MariAI evaluates her winning probability based on the result of almost 1+ million Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS).

Thus, EWP is only updated right after every MariAI's move. The number of Monte Carlo simulations depends on the game parameter, and is closely related to her ponding time.
