That's good to hear.

I thought I'd take this opportunity to point out that Bovo currently
has one bug and one wish reported at in Bugzilla [1] The wish is
debatable (one could easily argue for or against it), but the bug
report is probably of interest to you. Aparently the previous AI would
lock up if it was presented with a potential draw. If you're new AI
doesn't exhibit the same behaviour, then the bug can be closed.
