The code inside game.py's play() method is functional but unsatisfactory. Specifically in regards to determining a winner.
Currently, there are two cases where a winner can be declared:
The current player made an illegal move, meaning the opponent wins
The current player made a move that put the board into an end-game state, meaning the player wins
The declare_winner() method from the referee is called once the game is over. This may be able to be rewritten to be cleaner, as declare_winner()must execute at the end of the game, but should not attempt to update the winner of the game if case 1 triggered the end of the game.
This may extend to editing the code inside referee.py's declare_winner() method as well. That method should also update the winner and loser's win and loss counters, respectively. To do this, it must know who the winner and loser are.
