About Chopfish
Chopfish is the latest and greatest technology in Chopsticks history. It can perform analysis, predict moves, and make moves all in less than a second!How Chopfish Plays
Chopfish plays with simple rules: Rollover and Even-Split. These rules were created by children playing and wanted to make Chopsticks easy but engaging. In official math papers, rollover and even-split do not feature though. With rollover, the product of an attack is(attacked + attacker) mod 5.
With even-split, you can only split from 0,4 to 2,2 and from 0,2 to 1,1.How Chopfish Works
Step 1: Chopfish builds a tree of positions with each available move.Step 2: Whenever a branch either starts looping with best moves, produces a win, or produces a loss, that branch stops.
Step 3: After all the branches stop, if a win is present, Chopfish goes in for the kill. If no win is available, it goes for a loop. Chopfish never loses in a full match without cheating.
