GZ -> G3 traps OZ in place (because of threatened win) (unless OZ can move to G5? EDIT: Even if this is legal it starts GZ->G3 OZ->G5 GY->(top)G4 then OZ is trapped.) GY -> G5 trades O5 for G1 SoftNum fucked around with this message at 15:45 on May 16, 2020 |

That was an extremely clever move. I'm impressed as hell.SoftNum posted:Even if this is legal it starts GZ->G3 OZ->G5 GY->(top)G4 then OZ is trapped.) I agree with GZ -> G3 though. Then, either OY retreats, or we trap it as well.

GZ to G3 seems good, although since it doesn't directly threaten anything, they could move O3 or O6 somewhere.

So. GY -> G4 West was an option. Could we move G4 itself without them winning with both of their own pawns on G5? One of them has to be ours, right? So OZ and OY both being on G5 isn’t game over? Edit: Wait, then they could just move and eliminate G5 instead. poo poo. GY -> G4 West is the play we thought about before, anyone have other ideas? girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 07:34 on May 17, 2020 |

poo poo, you're right. Edit 1: Wait a minute, I have a cunning plan. If we did GZ -> G3 South, would we be threatening O4 South? Edit 2: Never mind, they'd grab G3 West and we lose. ...heck. Edit 3: Is the top of G3 a dome? If it is, then a weird play might be G6 onto the south side of O1, with the dome facing up. Then, OY can't get on it directly, but GZ has almost full wraparound for attacking from the South or East. It also deprives Orange of the obvious OZ -> G6 play. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 14:01 on May 17, 2020 |

PMush Perfect posted:poo poo, you're right. That doesn't stop them from moving OZ to O5 and winning. We either have to prevent them from making that move or move GY. GY to G4W is certainly risky, but it does solve that problem while eliminating O5.

What if we move G4 to like on top of G1 with a dome blocking that path (pointing west)? Then OZ has to make a suboptimal move to avoid mate?

As near as I can tell this forces OZ back to G1. At that point we should probably move G5 to finish stranding OZ and not tying up our own pawn? The other option is to complete our capture with GY->G6. Can Orange cap G1 with G4 "on top" of it?

They could also move O3 or O6 to the top of G5 to replace G4.

I'd say our best option would be to move GY to G4. It will eliminate O5, block movement to O6, and not leave us exposed.

kinda as expected. GY -> O6W seems obvious GY -> G4 is interesting, caps O5, threatens win on O6 e:f;b - sorry I was coming up with this in compose. SoftNum fucked around with this message at 20:28 on May 18, 2020 |

They've really limited our options. For GY we can only really change the face of G4 its on. For GZ, moving to G3S, threatens OY but opens up OZ for mate. GZ to G6 is the safer option.

Follow me on this one. GY to G4 east leaves us in position to attack not just G5, but also O6, and there's nothing they can do to threaten G4.
