If it's the one I'm thinking of, the game is
called hexapawn,
though it's played on a 3x3 grid, like TTT. I've always
had a fond spot for that article. It was one of my inspirations
back when I did a lot of AI.
I remember Martin Gardner writing on that too, I can't remember if
it's the same article or not. I will have to go along my
bookshelves...
To keep this on-topic, I also remember an program for the HP67/97 to
play Hexapawn, in the Games Pac 1 I think.
