Subject: Re:
Mr. Shumway: I agree with what you say, we have to play by what the rules are here on Brainking. The thing is depending where you have played it, as i have before the Rules are different.
Just an example from Gamerz.net:

'If you are unable to move on your turn, you are skipped. There is a chance that your opponent may be forced to make a move that will let you move again'

This is why its hard to implement games, you could play a game somewhere else and swear your rules are correct, when they only are for that site.

Subject: Tournament for Dummies
The newest tournament for dummies is about to start in less then 24 hours!

►ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated) #15

This tournament is for players rated BELOW 1500, or UNRATED.

This is a great way to learn how to play a new game, or play a game which you may not be too good at.... without too much worry about being "killed" by experts.

Each tournament type needs at least 4 players before it will start - many of the games have only 2 or 3 players signed up.

Subject: Re:
MadMonkey: No, I don't think this is a matter of interpretation. Let's quote the rules literally again:

How to finish the game

The game ends if one player cannot make a legal move.

In this game it was Nirvana's turn. She couldn't make a legal move. So ONE PLAYER could not make a legal move, and the game is over. There is no rule about "passing" a move. If it would be possible, the game would never be over until all the board was populated - as long as there is only one free square, there is always one legal move to be made. So in this case the rules would say:

How to finish the game

The game ends when all the board is covered.

But, since the system DID declare it a draw, the rules must be as gambler is interpreting them to be. I interpreted them the same way. As soon as a player does not have a move in their turn, the game is at that instant, over.

I didn't get the chance to pass it back to Furbster, the system was what declared it a draw. It was also the system which put me in the next round, and I really do think the game should have gone to Furbster.

It comes down to how you interprit how the rules are worded really. I would say both answers are correct, it was Nirvanas move, but as she could not go Furbster still had a LEGAL move.

MadMonkey: How to finish the game

The game ends if one player cannot make a legal move. When it happens, the player with more pieces on the board wins the game. If both players have the same number of pieces, the game is a draw

Subject: Re: Please advise:
Nirvana: Furbster made the last move according to the game, but i still dont know if the rules state that if you cant go it is game over, surely it should just be a pass.
It is in theory possible to get to a stage in a game of ataxx (and Assimilation) where an oppenent can not move, BUT if you then move a piece away from others, it could open the game up again.
Have to see what Fencer says on the matter i think.

I couldn't move, and Furbster should I think have been able to place his last piece. Instead the system declared it a draw and put me in to the next round. It just doesn't feel quite right.

Subject: Re: Please advise:
Nirvana: hmmmm i see what you are saying, and you gambler104, may have to look into these rules again.
It was you move and you could not go, surely then you should pass as in Backgammon, then Furbster would play and win.

I'm not sure which board to put this on, so if this is the wrong one, I apologise, but it is a tournament game that I am querying.

This game Ataxx was declared a draw by the system, but Furbster could still have put his last piece and should I think have won the game and gone to the next round, not me.
