2 stone handicap

1. d3

I'll try d4.

Are you guys Asian? (No offense intended)

I'm caucasian.

Reply: c4... 13 spaces claimed
I'm Norwegian. I learnt Go in South Africa. None taken, the game might be East Asian, but I'm just plain geeky. (I play Mancala too.)

Cool, i thought this game was only known in China and surrounding countries.

I'll do d5.

Isn't this game meant to be played on an 19x19 board?

Isn't this game meant to be played on an 19x19 board?Yes, it is.

d3 d4
c4 d5
f3

Extremely impolite of me.

Here's a mock-up of the board:

I wish I could just type "e4".

Isn't this game meant to be played on an 19x19 board?

We're actually playing "Othello".

I hope you two don't mind me posting here but Eric would it be too complicated to play mancala here? It's a fun game.

e2.

Whomp, I'd be happy to play, but... a) I have no idea how to format it for a computer, and b) you'd have to specify what board and what exact rules we're using. 6x2 to 10x4 are some of the sizes I've seen, with different rules for stone landings et al.

g7 today..

Yeah I can't think of how to do it either.

g7 today..You - you IMPOLITE PERSON!
g4 in response. Let's see you keep up with that, I'm taking over half the board.

Any other lurkers around that want to say something?

I'll try g5.

Hmm... f4 or h3... f4 or h3...
f4.
(Lower half of board has been PWNT!)

Any comments?
Status:

f5 letters

h5 at you.

h6 to block.

b6. I declare myself teh winz0r. (damn, the XCL makes for some funny messages!)

c5 for the moral victory.

b5, of course.

b7 to contain white piece aggression.

strengthening a tenous hold at b3

I'll assume you meant c3 as I play h4.

h3, sorry for disappearing for a while.
(Atari)
On a technicality, you can't capture my piece because you didn't say atari last turn.
Yes, I did mean c3.

:hmm: I'll take your word for it, but as I learned it, saying atari is not required, it's just polite.

I'll play i4. Do I need to say it if it's still atari? Atari, anyway.

punkbass2000, "Polite but not required" is exactly what a technicality - or formality - is. I should have included :p in that last post. Go ahead with whatever it was, if I can't keep track of a 9x9 board on a play-by-post game, I deserve to lose.

So I'm changing my move? If so, i5 instead.

So, uh, what happened to this game?

Dead, then?
