Onderwerp: Draw is possible in regular pente games
On the discussion board of *144*Brf's 7th Annual St. Pat's Pente Tourney*144* tournament some players wrote that draw is not possible in regular pente games. They are wrong, draw is possible. Since I'm not a participant of this tournament, I'm writing here.
Here you can see the local fragment, the rest of the board is filled systematically.
OXXXXOOOOX XOOOOXXXXO OXXXXOOOOX XOOOOXXXXO

At first, players fill columns C,D,G,H etc. After that they fill remained columns. It is easy to see that any piece will not be captured.
okjb: you should've been a participant in that tournament, I know I sent you a message about it but you might not have seen it in time. Shoot for it next year
yeah I've done the fill board before with snut and dmitriking trying to draw and it does work when all the spaces are filled up in the correct sequence. realistically though you have to design it like you said since more than likely you'll never fill the board without captures occurring especially towards the end.
In regular pente it's rare to see a board with 30 moves still being played though. most games are decided in under 20 :)
