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.)

 

[citizen001]

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

 

[punkbass2000]

I'll do d5.

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

We're actually playing "Othello".

lurker's comment: 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.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

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.

 

[punkbass2000]

g7 today..

 

[Whomp]

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

 

[Erik Mesoy]

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?

 

[punkbass2000]

I'll try g5.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

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

Any comments?
