Tzaar dumbot sees only 4 ply, so that's just one complete
move and response.

I think you can have a much smarter bot if you give a higher weight to stacks in the evaluation function. A 2-high stack should be worth about 4 pieces IMO.

The move should optimize "survivability" (and minimize the opponent's), defined as something like 100A + 10B + C, where A is
weakest color, B is second weakest and so on.

I don't understand, if the bot looks ahead one round, why it bothers to make a stack which gets immediately captured (when it could have made a stack at a safer location).

The slow bug (after the random start) is still there occasionally.
