I think anyone playing HQ should be encouraged by our results. I know a lot of people turned off by playing because of all the "bots" playing. Based on our analysis and results from over a hundred games...I think it's clear that bots are not sophisticated enough to solve HQ. We're also using a more sophisticated approach than most bots I've read about, and we continuously train out model on new data. Even so, we would only expect to win 7 out of 100 games. Our goal was not to hurt the HQ community, but rather to challenge ourselves into solving a difficult data science problem.
