Hey everyone! Based on your feedback about AI opponents, I've made a major improvement to how the AI selects moves. Here's what changed:AI ImprovementsPreviously, the AI had a "style overlay" system that would sometimes override the engine's calculated best move with a different move that matched the opponent's personality. The idea was to give each bot a distinct play style, but in practice it caused higher-level opponents to make moves that didn't match their rating — especially at Normal and Master level.I've removed the style overlay and replaced it with a pool-based selection system.How it works now: The engine calculates all moves, then builds a "pool" of acceptable options based on the opponent's Elo rating. Higher Elo = smaller pool = stronger play. The AI's personality picks between moves within that pool, so style only influences the choice when multiple moves are equally good....
