Subject: Re: black wins?

The 2 games I posted, I posted as 2 game matches. I don't think I'd ever post a single game...then of course a win (white) draw (black) results in a win overall. I'll admit...I did not notice that there had only been 12 draws, so I see that this change would have very little effect.

Subject: black wins?

Is black at such a disadvantage that a draw could be considered a win for black? Some Pente rules allow for the player going 2nd to record a win if the board becomes filled because going 2nd places them at such a huge disadvantage (with no move restrictions) Why not apply this rule to this game?
