why should not be the game that short? it is not a forced move and it is not a bad move, why should it be prohibited? well, I like very short games, especially in atomic actually

mangue: I'm not willing to say that it should be prohibited.  (I would say so, if it occurred any more frequently than it does at present.)


But I think it's unfortunate when one player can find that they have lost a game on move 4, when none of their 3 moves have been faulty.

wetware: That's the nature of games with a high random factor like Dice Chess or Behemoth Chess. Or even Logic, which you can also lose on the fourth (or even first) without doing anything 'wrong'.

There are lots of games you can play here where this cannot happen.

grenv: maybe... I cannot tell, but I feel that surviving more than 10 moves with black is a performance (or a mistake of white). I just like quick games, but I am maybe insane

mangue: Not true. There is no forced win for white. In fact black has many opportunities to win. What line by white do you suppose is a force?
