reads from stdin in format x,y

2. single position

gomoku <player> <depth> debug <path-to-input-file>

• player - which symbol should engine play as ('x' or 'o')
• depth - how many plies in future should the engine look
• path-to-input-file - path to file in specified format

evaluates single positions and returns its move
