Dmitri,

In response to:
Thad, you said that You think Gary and I think that you want to get rid of official pente. Where did you get that idea? Neither of us ever said anything along those lines.

My reply:
It’s true that you never said that directly, I think I implied it from an earlier post you made, mainly here:

That alone is insufficient-- for instance, if there is a game where player 1 has a forced win 100% of the time, would it make sense to simply play two game sets and ignore any attempts to give player 2 a chance? NO, it wouldn't, and by the same reasoning, the possibility of playing two game sets is no reason to neglect the restriction that gives player 2 more of a chance.


Specifically I thought you might feel that *I* was ‘ignoring attempts to give player 2 a chance’ and ‘neglecting the restriction’.

No big deal.

Thad
