Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the quick reply and the link! No I am not the one running the bot, 
but I have played it a fair bit. A really good beginner bot to play against :) 
Yes was aware that it was a modified 1.2 and a base for 2.0. Looking into 
making my own bot and have done some MCTS tests before. But would be fun to 
make something more beginner friendly, not many of the lower ranked bot that 
plays a good game, so looking for inspiration. Would also be interesting to try 
using Liberty or similar bot and take the rop rated moves and evaluate with a 
Monte Carlo algorithm.

Cheers,
