cmd/analyzetak

Variables that control the behaviour can generally be found in the cmd/taktician/main.go and cmd/taktician/taktician.go files.
Only board sizes 5 and 6 are available. Depth is the primary method of adjusting strength, for reasonable performance generally don't go above depth 3 at size 6, and depth 4 at size 5. t.ai.Diversify sets the random component of evaluation, going below 100 runs a risk of making the AI too predictable, higher values makes the AI more random, and weaker.
