How's your progress going?

@SeitaY During the couple of days I was able to leverage Fable, I was able to make a bot that was serviceable. With a relatively barebones implementation, the bot peaked at 1400 (around 300th on the ladder, for reference). I had a lot of ideas for how the bot could be improved (i.e. tracking the sets of opponents), but didn't get around to implementing them.

I suspect that it's probably possible, but it's hard to say whether I'll take another serious run at it before 2027.
