I'm particularly interested in the method of capture in pente. In Japan this method is also used in (at least) hasami shogi while in the west it is used in tafl type games. I'm wondering if this similarity was the result of cultural interaction among sub-arctic tribes, so I would be very interested if you have any information about traditional/ancient Siberian boardgames especially games of the Nenets.
Has anybody authoritive information on the origins and antiquity of Pente? I believe it's Greek but would like to confirm that and know for how long it's been around. I apologise if this question has been asked before, this is my first visit to this board and there are 162 posts to search through for a possibly non-existent answer.
