BOT jmjansen_aus_bot

This is an old program, does alpha/beta search with a very simple evaluation function that scores (a) material and (b) a small contribution of "centralisation" of pieces and pawns. So the position scores more with a piece in the centre.

There is no concept of king safety, or rooks on open files in the evaluation function. That is the bot's weakness. It rarely castles, and the king is easily led into the centre of the board, while the tactics are good with material. So to beat the bot, attack its king.

Good tactics, poor positional sense, beatable.
