                              COMPUTER DOTS 
     
          Dots  is  a  complex version of the game played  by  school 
     kids  over  at least the last half-century.  It is difficult  to 
     pin  down  just  when  the game originated,  but  it  remains  a 
     popular lunch break pastime in many schools across the country. 
     
          When the game  is played on paper,  rows of dots  are drawn 
     on  a blank sheet to form a grid from ten to twenty dots square. 
     The  first  player draws a line between any two dots,  then  the 
     second  player  does the same.  Play continues in turn  as  each 
     tries to draw lines that will keep the other from completing all 
     sides  of a box.  If a player succeeds in completing a box,   he 
     marks it  with his initials to claim it and then  takes  another 
     turn.    When all of the dots have been used and no  more  lines 
     can  be drawn play ends.  Each player then counts the number  of 
     boxes claimed.  The player with the highest score wins. 
     
          The  computer  game is played by the same rules,   but  the 
     grid  of  dots  is substantially larger and the  computer  auto- 
     matically  marks  each  box claimed and tallies  the  scores  as 
     play  proceeds.    Because of the size of the  grid  it  becomes 
     possible  to  develop  extremely  complex  strategies  to  claim 
     boxes  later  on in the game,  which can take up to  45  minutes 
     to play.
