#  attack.db - pattern database for finding tactical attack moves
#
#  The tactical reading functions try to capture by attacking
#  on the immediate liberties plus certain caps and backfilling
#  moves. This database is intended to find additional attacking
#  moves. Notice though that these patterns doesn't help the
#  tactical reading to find attacking moves later in a move
#  sequence but only at stackp=0.
#
#  See patterns.db for a specification of the current database format.
#
#  Since these patterns are matched during make_worms() it doesn't
#  make any sense to use classifications such as X and O. No other
#  classification is useful either except A since we only have
#  tactical attack moves here.
#
#  The semantics of these patterns are that the move at * is tried as
#  an attack of each X string in the pattern. The patterns are matched
#  with either player as O.
