Ok, you are right, that statement doesn't really peove anything. But what i have noticed is that no one is complaining except the serious pente players. But as Fencer said, he is trying to please everyone (or as many as possible) on this site. This site does support the classic version of Pente, as well as this other version (call it what you want). Even though it is not right, players coming from IYT may be accustomed to this 13x13 version with no restriction, and may wish to continue playing it. Why not let them?

Sujet: Re:

Kevin, I'll tell you why not. Because the existence of the game you mention was due to an error by IYT as a result of their not realizing the right way to set up the game. What you are saying amounts to this: "People are used to playing it the wrong way, so we should not correct the error."

To me, I just don't think that is a good idea.

Yes, webTV users need the 13 X 13 board. But why not rectify the error IYT made by at least keeping the restriction on the 13 X 13 board?

Incidentally== non serious players are affected also, because even non serious players like to play the game with the correct rules. I have encountered non-serious players at DSG who were frustrated to have learned the game with the wrong rules as a result of what IYT did. So, it is not just the serious players who were affected.
