I think I found you via Stumbleupon. I guess your site was up long enough to get into their index :)

Wow, I’m suprised to see this here. I am the owner of the origional website monteux.no-ip.org, and I’m still expanding it. I’ve had it up only a little while, and I haven’t had time yet to clean up the bugs. I wish I could take credit for the code myself, but I found elsewhere, and had saved it to my comptuer a while before putting it up. Glad to see people actually make it to my site.

Monteux.

The secret of this game is to never be the one who makes the 3rd wall of a square unless you have to. If you play against a human on paper you can sometimes get away with it, but the script above will automatically take a square if you do this.

So as long as you can, you need to put lines in semi-random places. Once you run out of free lines you will have to give away some points. The trick is to pick a spot on the board in which the opponent can only score 2-3 squares and then must stop.

On the other hand if you see the opponent puts down a line in a way it allows you to score, you want to be very careful with your extra moves. You want to score as many points as you can, so place each scoring line in a way that will allow you to immidiately place another.

You can easily race through half the board this way if the game goes on for long enough.
