This has been happening to lots of people it seems lately - you win a game (or a game finishes) and it still goes to your opponent. I had one game of Spider Line4 where i placed 4 in a row, and it was my opponent's turn for a few minutes before it realized i'd won. Hopefully he'll look at it soon.

Ankhaw -

I found your game where you should have already won. Wow, I've never seen that before!

Here's what you need to do. Send a message to 'Fencer', the owner of the site and tell him what happened. It will be easiest for his reference if you give him your game I.D. of 174787.

He is usually fairly quick to respond and will take care of it for you.

By the way, who is Beuller?

Okay, I've got a game of pente where I placed five in a row, but it's now in my oppenent's turn to move column... why didn't I win? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

If you notice problems with DSG, please post at the DSG forums or email me directly. I don't check these discussion boards very frequently so the only reason I knew about the problem was because Mark told me.

Thanks,

You are right dano- the database is screwed up after we made some changes to accomodate the new variants, it seems to make errors in recognizing the boards after captures are made. Dweebo is working on it, Thanks.

Now available: test version of my program for Poof Pente!
at http://users.erols.com/msmammel/marksfiv.html
It will count a poof into a 10-10 capture count as a draw.
Just put the file into the same directory as the regular pente program (WPente.exe) and run PoofPente.exe
No help is available, see the posts for rules.

It could depend on what kind of WebTV you had - i heard something about older units loading even smaller pages than newer ones.

I think I heard that WebTV can't load regular Pente or Keryo-Pente, which is why Fencer created Small Pente and Small Keryo-Pente (13x13 instead of 19x19). I'm not sure what you can do if neither of you can open it! Probably message Fencer and he'll help you :-)

this game was over very early on, white never had a chance after move 4 or 5....

I would say a combination of move 6.G6 surrendering the initiative and move 13.K9 allowing L10 to be played were the most costly mistakes for white. But I'm no expert...

Onderwerp: game=132674
although it's an open-pente game
(again could not resist a tourney-group vegetating with 3 players only)
I'd lightly apply for a brilliancy-prize
( for that game-type after all ... ) :D

a hammer-formation won by black,
and my opponent asked me where he missed his chance ...

I had a surgery around noonish and would doubt the accuracy
of my analysis today ... maybe one of our sharks cAn spare a moment.

thanks and, have a great day yet ... ~*~

I'm particularly interested in the method of capture in pente. In Japan this method is also used in (at least) hasami shogi while in the west it is used in tafl type games. I'm wondering if this similarity was the result of cultural interaction among sub-arctic tribes, so I would be very interested if you have any information about traditional/ancient Siberian boardgames especially games of the Nenets.

Onderwerp: Origin of Pente and Go-moku
Really it were old Japanese games Pente name was Ninuki-Renju. Go-moku have sport variant Renju.
You can see my page at http://nosovsky.narod.ru
USA only simplified rules of Ninuki and so we have this variant of Pente.

no. Go-moku with captures is what pente is. THe only other difference is htat 6 in a row or more wins in pente but does not win in go-moku.

Pente was invented in 1977 (approximately) by Gary Gabrel. THe game Go-Moku, which is similar to pente has ben around for a long time.

Has anybody authoritive information on the origins and antiquity of Pente? I believe it's Greek but would like to confirm that and know for how long it's been around. I apologise if this question has been asked before, this is my first visit to this board and there are 162 posts to search through for a possibly non-existent answer.

Onderwerp: poof pente puzzle solution and AI
No one sent in a correct solution to arrive at the 10-10 score in six moves in my puzzle(if someone did and I accidentally missed it, please let me know the approximate date and I'll check again), so here is the solution: 1.K12 K13 2.O10 K7 3.K6 N7 4.O7 N9 5.R11 Q12 or K16 6.O8. I think the solution(s) to win in 7 moves if black has one less stone captured should be obvious from here, so I'll leave them as an exercise for the reader.
Mark has modified his program to play poof pente and it plays VERY well, so soon anyone who wants to try it will be able to play against the computer. I am thinking about trying to get a poof pente discussion board set up somewhere, so that people can post strategy tips, puzzles, etc. I am also looking forward to the time when Mark has his AI modified so that we can try out different variants on the theme of poof pente (and others also) to see what seems to be the fairest game (Gary's suggestion of playing into poofs being forbidden, only P2 can make poofs,etc.) Tom

I too am on webtv, and every so often I get that message when clicking on things here. It isn't very often, and I don't know the reason why, but I just move to something else, and the next day it is fine. (Could be sooner, I don't know)
For a long time this would happen to me when clicking on the "Who is online" link. Now it never happens there and it now seems to happen in specific backgammon games when I'm trying to move. I have no idea if it is a webtv problem or a brainking problem.
Just wanted to let you know you arent alone. And again, it is fixed when you go back at a later time.

The only thing i could think of is to try and refresh it - but i really am not familiar with any form of webTV, so i can't really help ;-)

This morning I can bring it up. But last night when I tried I would get message from MSN (web-tv) that it contained information that could not be used and then the screen would go white. It was the only game I could not play last night.

29. mei 2003, 07:38:03
Kevin 
That would be Game number 108316. Even if you can't access the page, you can find the game number: if you look at the address that appears at the bottom of the window when you hold your mouse over the link, it will say "http://www.brainking.com/showgame?g=#####" Where the numbers represent the game number. If you are on webTV and do not have anything like that, i'm sorry :-)
I can access it fine - what does it do when you click on it...anything?
