For what it's worth, that's also what I do. But is it optimal? :)

The source code is leading the blog posts [1], so I think I already have an answer to that question for games on 2x2 and 3x3 boards using Markov Decision Processes, but the approach doesn't scale to the 4x4 board.

Most likely not optimal but it certainly can be done without looking at the screen while watching Netflix :P
