3 years ago This is not so true anymore. I'll wait for others to confirm that before closing this issue but it seems to me that we are quite efficient now regarding the defense on captures. The downside of this is that now, the AI is likely to protect one of its 2 aligned threatened by a capture (by making it an alignment of 3) instead of blocking an open 3.

Not sure if this is a real issue as it seems quite difficult to prevent us from being captured other than by turning every half-open two into a half-open three (which is rarely a really good move to play, the AI does it when it feels clearly threatened by the human player and has no better move to play, but it's often only a defensive move and adds almost no value to the potential next move possible).
However, I open this issue anyway in order not to forget there probably is something to do around here.
