Subject: Pente puzzle update- Mark Mammel wins, but puzzle as stated is actually a DRAW! in 6 moves as stated, $100 to first (besides Mark)correct solution to THAT one!
Mark gave me the first correct solution to the puzzle as I had it stated, BUT! EGG ON MY FACE! I'm glad I was the one to discover that best play by black actually forces a DRAW in 6 moves as the best result for white. So Mark gets $100 for the puzzle and the first person (before June 13th)besides Mark to find the line where black can force a draw in six moves as the best result white can achieve will also get $100.
