Someone on the forum said that the nature of the BGARobot has changed("Can't stop totally ruined!").
So I was curious to try it; hoping for a strong challenging robot.
But after my first turn, the robot will not make a move even after refreshing or clicking the relaunch link.
So I looked at the recently bug-rapports; there are a lot!

Also noticed the high ELO-rank of the robot:
87317 Spellen • 1983pt (3de)
18635 overwinningen • 21% succes

It seems that all the games with the robot got stucked:

What's going on?
Are you working on it for the better?
Is it a bug?

The irony is that the robot is moving up the ranks and is 3rd already. So, it's going to bump everyone who was using the robot to get to first. I think it's kind of funny.

Just a quote of what I said on the other thread:

"I also just don't see this as a solution. I have no comprehension of why games with a bot should be counting for anything. If it were a site where playing with bots was common, and the bots were good, or had levels, that would make more sense. But that's never been what this site is about. People play other real people here. Wasn't the point of the bot just to learn a game and/or implementation?"

I was surprised to see this post, since I'm surprised the fixing the bot to play better seems to be the intended solution here, instead of just turning off the darn ELO. Can't help shaking my head over this.

(Right now I'm kinda glad I'm not so hot at this game. I have no personal concerns here.)
