Yeah ... BuiderQ seems right. Until we have a mathematical prove of the second player advantages we should keep it the way it is now. Anyway ... I'll keep on accepting invitations for double games (or maybe games where I'm not the first one to move :)))).

Ok, what do you think about that:
You can play a two games match or a single game but If you want to play a single game than you got to be the first one to move (you can't take "advantage") ... would it be fair ?

I agree that two-games matches are the only fair way of playing Line 4 on the 8x8 board. Regarding the widely disparate skill levels BuiderQ was saying ... well ... If you want to beat a highly skilled player, than you got to take the risk and go for it !!! I don’t know any better way of developing your own skills than playing a “stronger” opponent … no pain, no gain :^).
