Great channel, thanks for sharing.

I'm not clear how they came to the steady state solution, or how it is memorizable, or is it just intended to be brute forced at that point?

At some point long ago, I was bored and memorized a whole bunch of openings and intuitive rules, and would end up with a 90%+ win rate. Lots of fun.

Author used flash cards to memorize the steady state positions.

Deriving the steady state solutions was most interesting to me as well, author just described it as “a genetic algorithm”.
