I'll have to take another look, but I *think* this is the game I where I played a little more defensively than usual in the opening. I know it was one of the very rare games where I had to set out the position on a physical board to figure the endgame . . .

Thanks for a good one, Bigby

This was a great game to watch play out and worth stepping through in the archives.

One cannon shot, twenty cannon moves, multiple retreats and a town race finish.

Great victory for nycavri against Bigby. It was his second win of the tournament.He's finishing with a score of 2-1 and Bigby with a score of 0-3.Ostadar in that group is the winner with 3-0. Both players make a very clean and high level game. We saw again that nycavri specialy like to bypass the opponent flanks.

Thanks for your support, Aaron - it is greatly appreciated. I was also somewhat blown away to be fueled by Omar Syed - designer of Arimaa!

Much like Aaron, he is figuring out a model for his own RocketHub campaign. I think we're going to make the RocketHub team glad I talked them into adding a "Games" catagory . . .

Still more than 3 weeks left to "Join the Penguin Soccer Fan Club".

The move of the week. Cerulean vs Molnar, turn 25. Cerulean play g7-d4 and of course his unit was immediatly snap by Molnar's flat cannon.
By the way, it took 7 days for Cerulean to make that move...

Oops! If a whole series is broken, I can just regen the whole thing. Let me know.

I will assume that is a medium clear and I will see if I can duplicate it.

(some commercials now)

There is the "tactic blue" collection published by Bambusspiele http://bambusspiele.de/spiele/tacticblue/e_tacticblue_fr.htm which includes the complete stacking trilogy (w/ Accasta Pari).

Attangle is published by RamalamaS http://www.ramalamas.com/cgi/rl/rlen.pl/Attangle:

and finally, http://www.nestorgames.com. N�stor published Abande last year (all boards, plus a hexboard with a dot in the center, ready for Attangle).

The original Accasta is difficult to produce. And, it seems, difficult to understand. Anyway, I already confessed my love to the game here in the forum, so it's very hard to argue against Accasta with me

Yes, I think that is a medium.

My friend just mentioned that she's noticed that at least some of the colors are mis-indexed on these. She said she might go through and fix them, if she gets bored at the keyboard one of these days.

Is there anybody that is selling hard copies of your games? It looks like all three could be played with the same set of board and pieces (if you do Accasta Pari and only the hex board for Abande and Attangle). I wonder how Accasta might work on a snub-square board

Thank you, Aaron!

I was pondering about the change for years and you implement it in 2 days.

BTW: a hint to new Accasta players: don't start too offensive especially on the black side. Try to build up a good position first. Wait for a good attacking multi move.

The notation is cumbersome, I know. You might try Accasta on a real board to get into it.

Dieter has changed the Accasta rules slightly. You now win by having three pieces in the opposing castle at the *beginning* of your turn. This gives your opponent one last chance at saving themselves. This also means that the rule against "suicide moves" is no longer applicable. I wouldn't recommend doing it, but the system should allow you to. I am testing it now and would appreciate hearing about any untoward behaviour of the code now that I've changed it.

Good Gaming!
Aaron
