Algorithims + Data Structures = ___________

Anyone? ;^)

My goal is to have a program that remembers every "human" move it has
encountered, but only "knows" what is a legal move and when the game
has been won. I want the strategy to come be learned from the "human"
opponent, not hard-coded in the logic.

By using a relational DB (MySQL most likely), the idea is to catalog
positions and moves in a table for quick retrieval... Oddly, I've spent
*way* too much time working on the design, and no time coding so far...
