Improvements

• Populate edge-table more quickly
  • How best to precalculate and load?
• Improve performance
  • 3-ply Iago is pretty fast, 4-ply starts to be slow (though faster near the end where possibilities are reduced).
  • Is the issue algorithmic, or could constant-factor improvements like advanced CLJS compilation help?
  • If algorithmic, consider improvements on α-β pruning like negamax.
• Better UI
• Better strategies (latest literature)
