So, lesson learned. Being on the bottom row is a bad idea.

Edit: Do we retreat GZ back to the other side?

If we moved GZ to G3W, we'd be threatening OZ again.

Potentially stupid idea, but maybe start building a tower to reach to O2. Perhaps G1 next to G4, domes facing N and up?

We need to do something to shake it up, or they'll just keep us pinned at ground level forever. That seems like a dramatic shake-up. I like it.

Does GY to G3S help us at all?

I'm down for moving G1; I think we need to unstuck ourselves how we can.

I think moving GZ onto the same cube as GY makes us lose by DQ? It's a deliberate concession move, I think.

I'm ok with this. The only other move I could think of would be GZ to G4E or O1E to threaten O4.

We certainly are, although I'm not sure that move makes it much worse.

If we want to continue building up to O2, we can move G4 on top of G1 with the nob facing W.

Ugh. We're just reacting. And even if we do complete the tower, we can't use it because then OZ -> G1 wins. We need to come up with something that puts them on the back foot.

Edit: What if we put G1 on top of O3? Would that give us any kind of room to maneuver, or take some of theirs?

Edit 2: If we can pin all of their cubes with our cubes, then they'll have no choice but to start moving pawns, and that means they'll probably be forced into a suboptimal play. So, I say we get into a cube war until either something gets moved in such a way that a new avenue opens for us, or we put then in an uncomfortable position.

I like that plan, although we can't block O4 unless they move OY.

I think they've probably got us, but the more we draw it out, the more chances we give them to make some kind of drastic misplay and give us an opening. Mentally, they outnumber us, so it's not likely, but...

Yeah it seems likely that it's intended to be played in real time without people checking every line and angle constantly. but eh. good experence.

GY -> O6W would allow us to cap another cube likely.

I kinda like this, but we're also passing up the only opportunity we may ever get to pull GZ out of the pin.

We should have a decent chance of getting GZ onto O6 to capture it next turn as well if we move it to O5.

I like GY to O6W.

We had them pinned multiple times and they got out of it, so I don't think we need to prioritize getting GZ out of there over a good chance of eliminating another cube.

I assume you mean G5, but if they move OY to the top of O2, they eliminate G1, prevent us from taking O6, and threaten GZ all at once.
