The small board size and easy AI combo was too easy as a starting point. But I started to lose against the Medium AI. The animations are a bit lengthy. I think the ideal numeric indicator would show the number of turns (stone placements) before the space "locks" itself to a particular color.

Appreciate the feedback! The number of turns before lock is an interesting indicator. There are some corner cases that I'd have to think more about though - e.g. when a tile is almost at the threshold but at a deadlock (both colors are evenly surrounding it)

The countdown approach is a really good idea (if it can be implemented).
