Has anyone seen a lower scoring game?
Bear_bot's strength is set to 2-ply search (that is, it plays, among all the longest moves, one of the moves for which the longest reply is the shortest).
After further analysis, even after move 7 (VOAR) bear_bot already thinks that it'll win by 1 (by exploring the game tree until the end, pruning all non-locally-maximal moves *except* if such a move is unique -- a fairly reasonable assumption IMO).
