@Feijoa, we should have built a happy group together while we still had the chance to. :smile:

Oh, I see now, those White/Pink also threaten to ruin eye space. Nice

@Maharani, what do you think about playing somewhere around B14? It seems really big to me.

Great idea! :slight_smile: Yeah, somewhere in that area.

Nice @yebellz, I wasn’t thinking of playing there. Now since the deadline is clearly approaching I can’t keep considering N moves. So I’ll harass K9 while Blue-Black is distracted on the left.

Speaking of, the deadline is a 24-hour time period this tine…

Huh, I must have made a mistake. Sorry about that, how about this as a new deadline? 2022-02-04T19:00:00Z

By the way, you can’t see it, but at least 90% of this post is the link to Vsotvep’s tool :laughing:

That’s some nice coordination, but be careful @yebellz, there’s a lot around there that we can only kill by attacking Blue, since Black is safe. I’m hoping we can seal off some area and leave my stones with enough eye space to survive.

To avoid colliding, I’m thinking of playing randomly in one of these locations:

It has to fit the entire board state inside the link. I checked and it is able to save the 25x25 board with any colour combination, but slightly larger is too large for URLs, most servers don’t accept it.

It can probably be condensed a bit more, using the whole range of characters, but :man_shrugging:

As for the game, if someone needs me, and has some idea of how I can be useful, please let me know.

Sorry for the delay, everyone. I’ve just submitted a move.

I actually forgot about this until a few minutes after the deadline and, running to my laptop, just made up a move on the spot instead of choosing one with true randomness. I’m a little worried that I’m biased, so I’ll redo my move now:

Okay, I’ve given this some thought and came up with a few possibilities.

@Maharani you could create an eye for the black stones by playing J5, it would also create a shared eye between blue and green (which white can only fill by killing the black+green stones).

@Vsotvep you could try to build a similar eye around M2, you could also block white at A1.

But of course we’d need an alternative plan too. We could threaten B10 and try to save our stones on the left. This could give us the chance to start a capturing race against the white+pink stones.

Any other ideas?
