Potential game improvements

I welcome all of your comments on the game at tilingking@gmail.com. The following are some of my thoughts on improving the game.

•  Implement computer player using artificial intelligence
  
•  Introduce "pie rule" or similar scheme to eliminate 1st player advantage
  
•  Allow a player to explicitly challenge another specific player to a game when playing through the Tiling King server
  
•  Permit conversation before and after games and conversation directed at a specific player
  
•  Extend game parameters to include a choice of player piece sets
  
•  Extend game parameters to include a choice for the specific number of pieces that when surrounded by a ring of opponent pieces will prevent capture of the surrounded territory (instead of just 1)
  
  Consider taking this to the extreme and assuming that any number of pieces can be surrounded and removed from the board, excepting only when the surrounded opponent pieces were previously used themselves to capture territory. Even this last restriction could be dropped, forcing a game strategy (on a large enough board) in which there is ever an need to prevent already claimed territory from being re-taken by a larger outer ring of an opponent's pieces.
