[Chicago] ChiPy November 2018 Main Meeting

[Adam Forsyth]

That's awesome Michael, thanks for sharing! The simplicity of the game is
definitely one of the reasons I picked it to speak about.

The code you linked and the code I'll use in my talk are basically the
same, except that I use the heuristic from the paper instead of the "random
possible answer" heuristic.
