Thema: New Idea for PENTE

I would like to suggest to discuss new Rule for Pente, I think it improve the game.
If you win as White (second player) you got 3 points.
If you win as Black (first Player) and your opponent can not make 5 next move or capture 5 capture you get also 3 points and your opponent got o points, but if you win and your opponet can do this , this case you got 2 points and your opponent got 1 point.
What do you think about this ?

Thema: Re: New Idea for PENTE

nosovs,

I like the idea of improving Pente, but I don't think any point system will work. How do you handle the situation when a player resigns? Or when a player 'knows' it's over and doesn't make all the available extensions or captures?

I think the only way to improve the rankings for Pente is to calculate two separate rankings, one for win/losses as player 1 and one for wins/losses as player 2. Of course, these scores could be combined in some way (added or averaged or whatever) to find one overall score, but I think this is the only way to create a score that acurately reflects a player's true ability.
