That shouldn't be too hard to implement

I think you don't have an impression of how much is involved in writing a successful AI.

Read the wikipedia article on Deep Blue and see how much was involved in writing an AI that could play Chess well. (although this is a bit of an extreme example) And chess only has 32 pieces on a relatively tiny grid.
