Asunto: Re: Keryo Team Pente Tourney
Snut: different team snut. you can change teams in the fellowship on the team area and see all 4 of our teams. you as far as I know are only in "Pente" thus you can't play in this Keryo tourney unless you signed up.

this tournament is only for Keryo players actively listed on a Keryo team.

Asunto: Re: Keryo Team Pente Tourney
Brf: Hey Brfles... I know I am on the pente team. If that means that I'll have to play Keryo Pente if you enter the team in this tourney you've mentioned, then I want to say now that I don't want to play in this tournament. I despise Keryo Pente and absolutely DO NOT want to play it.

I'm not sure that the fact that I am on our pente team means I have to play every style of pente that you enter our team to play. I'm not sure how all that works.. I will say that Regular pente and Open Pente are the only games I really want to play (and hell, not even Open Pente that much)... Thanks for understanding Brfles... Let me know what the deal is, bro... Late.

well it's been at least 5 years since the last Keryo tourney, but Tanein has just created a new Keryo Team Tournament. Here's the direct link. 10-09-01 Keryo Pente

SPP will have our team signing up shortly. I'd encourage all other fellowships to start getting their Keryo teams put together by the Sept 1 start date.

good luck to all Players and may the best team win!

Brf's St Pat's Pente Tourney 2010! Sign Up by March 17th 2010

The tradition here at Brainking continues with another St Patricks Day Pente Tournament. After the fiasco with last years "single elimination" tourney format, I've decided to go back to straight sets in the old section based format.

This is a prize tournament with 1 year Brain Rook awarded to the winner. The section size has been set at 7 people per section with time limits set at 2 days per move with vacation allowed.....anything more and the tourney won't finish before the 2011 St's Patty's tourney.

So you have to ask yourself, do you feel you have the Pente luck of the Irish? well sign up and see how far you can make it through the Rounds! On St.Patricks Day (March 17, 2010) the tourney begins! My thanks to all of you who continue to sign up for this tournament every year!
Good luck to all players, I look forward to playing you across the board!

Brian1971: I'm curious....If you're a part of our fellowship, why start another pente fellowship and more pente tourneys there? It's cool and all, i'm just wondering.

Or are you offering more than pente games in your FS....cause it's pretty obvious that this fellowship is pente centric. heheh. :-) Anyways, good luck with your FS and all...

And remember, anyone can always ask me or Brf to start any type of tourney that you want for our fellowship. As long as it's some form of pente...

tarcellius:
In a general sense, you could try to reference the AI of a chess program. The best, easiest one I've seen is Tom's Simple Chess Program that you can find at this website:
http://www.tckerrigan.com/Chess/TSCP

It follows the general need for board game AI:
1.) find legal moves (harder in pente than chess since more legal moves available for the most part) and potentially prune out terrible ones
2.) find a way to assign a score to a position
Hope that helps!

Modificado por tarcellius (13. Marzo 2009, 23:11:32)
Hi pente players,

I teach a high school programming class part-time, and for an upcoming class project I am considering a pente game. The students already have a GUI framework provided for them that handles images in a grid fairly well (see http://www.horstmann.com/gridworld). In writing their game, I would like to have the students implement a simple AI to play against.

I could brush up on general turn-based strategy algorithms, and then apply them to pente to write the project demo. But frankly, I can only spend so much time on my part-time job, so I don't have the time to try several different approaches before settling on a decent one that isn't too much coding for my students to handle.

So, can anyone point me to any resources for this effort? I'm looking for outlines for existing AI algorithms that are known to work reasonably well without massive coding. Or even the source code to an AI which I can pare down for my students (Like Mark Mammel's AI). Or any other pointers.

Thanks!

Asunto: Brf's 3rd Annual St Patricks Day Pente Tourney 2009!
St Patty's 2009!

ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT TO SIGN UP!

Keeping with tradition I've got another St Patricks Day Tournament out there but I'm changing things up a bit this time.

Only 64 people will be allowed into this years tournament since it's Single Elimination with a '2 wins to advance' match format. The Single Elimination is an experiment to make things more head to head and skill centric, hopefully taking away the random advantage a player can sometimes get over another in a section. (for example: where a player times out in just one game and gives an advantage to one of two other equal players.)

I'm keeping the same time limits as last years (2 days per move with vacation allowed) since that seemed to work rather well. Cash prizes are kind of a pain for Fencer to deal with so I've decided to set the prize as one year Brain Rook (approximately 50$ US value).

So you have to ask yourself, do you feel you have the pente luck of the Irish? well sign up and see how far you can make it through the grid! On St. Patricks Day (March 17, 2009) the tourney begins! Good luck to all players, I look forward to playing you across the board!

Asunto: it's now a 16 player pente single elim. tourney
I had started a 32 person single elimination tourney for open pente, small pente, Pente, and Keryo pente which I opened up to all of BK. The tournament was a two wins match format with a total time of 16 days allowed for the whole game and was supposed to start November 15, 2008! SPP, All Te Games, 16 Day game, Single elimination, Rated

Since none of the tournaments had a signup of 32 players I've asked Fencer to lower the required number of players to 16! The tournament will be deleted in 24 days if 16 players do not sign up. We're really close on the "pente" tourney and about halfway there on the the other variants. Please consider signing up if you haven't done so already. Thanks! -Brf

Asunto: live pente tournament plans
Are you interested in a live, across-the-board, pente tournament? A handful of players well-
connected in the online pente community are putting together a live pente tournament sometime in
2008. The orgnanizers are asking people to answer a few questions in an online poll to better
understand where and when the tournament would be the biggest success. Help us out! Visit the
following site to submit your feedback:

http://pente.homestead.com/biography.html

Sign the guestbook while you are there so we have some idea who has voted in the survey. Feel
free to browse the site while you are there (not much to it, the poll is what's important right
now) and check back later for results. Further announcements will be made here and on other sites
when details are available.

Some legwork for this tournament has already been done, and we're confident that there is
sufficient interest to have a really exciting tournament with top-level play and a gathering of
players from all over the internet. Stay tuned!

Asunto: Octapente #2 of 8

A recap of OctaPente the First...



 



"OctaPente #1 of 8
Single elimination pente, first 8 players. Winner of this tourny won't be allowed in the next 7... Winner of #2 of 8 can't play in the next 6... and so on until there are 8 tourneys done, and 8 different winners, who will be invited to the Grand OctaPente tourney... Good luck! let's see if this works... Enjoy!"



 



And a big CONGRATS to the winners round 1...



 



Pente ----------------------Fstop
Keryo Pente ---------------Fstop
Small Pente ----------------Fstop
Small Keryo Pente ---------Fstop
Open Pente ----------------jryden
Open Keryo Pente ---------Fstop



 






Now before we begin Octapente the second, a bit of a change from the first.  The first followed a theme of "8's".  Thus 8 days and 8 hours per turn.  It took not quite a year and a half to finish, but close.  At that rate, it will be somewhere around 10 years before the Grand Octapente Finale.  From here on out, it's 2 days per turn, standard vacation.   Special congrats to Fstop for a near sweep, and special thanks to jryden for stopping him!

Asunto: Hey
Ladies and Gents - It seems the next evolution of f/s team play is upon us. I have created a new f/s Plente's Evil Twin Brother - the purpose being to increase team challenge opportunity. Any Plente member interested in frequent play may participate. Once enough members have joined (at least 8) then we will split the teams fairly - a minimum of 4 on the Twin Team - and 4 on Plente's team - maybe much more and much bigger!!

Im posting this here - not as an effort to take members away from existing teams - when it comes to team tournaments from fencer - i would fully expect that players will leave and go back to their home to play.... the bonus is - you can leave a team - and finish those matches - and rejoin your own and still play....

you could even join up - get started - and leave to go back and participate in your own f/s team challenges - its impossible to be on two teams at the same time - so we never have to worry about playing ourselves!!! lol

Anyone interested send me an request to join....
