2. Add server playing strategies (AI) to simulate levels as beginner, experienced, and expert players.
3. Test and make this sample work on other browsers except Chrome.
4. Extend board size beyond 3x3.
5. Build docker images to scale out in high volume.
6. Add new features, e.g., use local storage to save state for revisits, record playing history, add complexity options.
