The A.R.B Connect 4 (8x8) Computer Program Challenge 2021
Hi
I would like to Challenge all Programmers using any Programming language,to try and beat my Connect 4 program below...
THEARBCONNECT4V8X8PROGRAM {The Strongest Program in the World!} A.R.B
Check out the latest final Challenge 2021 version of my program and message version 20102021 below...
The Rules for the Challenge are that there will be a 10 Game Match between any two programs,alternating who goes first 5 times each.
My program can save the moves for each game to an external file LASTGAMESSAVED.TXT,so that the games can be checked as being genuine.
If the Match is a Draw ? then the title will be shared untill the next Challenge in 2022,which I would like to be a regular event for AI understanding.

Below is the final Challenge 2021 version of my program version 20102021
Note! this version has a New! option Match mode (Normal) and Risky mode (Risky )
The idea behind the Risky mode is for... if an unbelievable situation arises in a 10 game match,and my program is losing ? then I will switch to Risky mode because the program has nothing to lose! and maybe in a Draw situation at 6 / 6 as I would rather try to Win than share the 2021 title
Risky mode will play the unusual first move lines starting at A1,B1,C1 and F1,G1,H1 the programs AI has a good chance of winning with the built in AI ?
