I’ll add my vote and make it four in favour of a second game, it should be interesting to see what people’s rationale is for to switch or not to switch.

I think that’s the proposed first move, yes. I also think it’s a good one. For the proposed T move (Tbc9, maybe) it guarantees only 4, not 7, as whatshisbucket can respond with an L to take 2O,1X and protect the remaining O at the top. I think with the current notation that would be something like L...

Although that said Tde2 might be an interesting move to think about too.

For 7.Ief0 I would submit a more likely counter of 8.Lcd7 to protect 3 O and 1 X as well as take two O. I haven’t worked out how the game would play from there, it might still be an X win, there’s plenty of other available O to take. Still, I submit now might be the time for the Jed9 that was origin...

whatshisbucket has responded with a green T. (I also have trouble with the notation. I think it’s Tf8g9, or Tg89 or maybe Tg98... it covers f8,g8,h8,g9) I propose we counter with a red L covering i0,i9,i8,j8. I think that’s Lij8? Or Lji8? Pictured here in case all the notation is wrong. 04AAF885-524...

T72on1’s suggestion is much better than mine. I withdraw my move and throw support behind theirs.

For move 3 I suggest Jed9. If then whb plays 4.Tcb7 it gives us 2 threats: Jba0 and Lba4. Against 4.Thg3 we have 5.Ii23. Against 4.Tg98 we are not under any further pressure in that area and can go on making our own plans. If I understand the notation (not completely sure I do) the suggested move i...

9A30B046-024A-428B-A114-EAACCF255D5C.jpeg I would suggest starting in the corner on this board, partially to reduce possible second moves but mostly because picking one side can hopefully divide the game into an attacking half and a defending half, since the X and O don’t seem very intermingled her...

An interesting notion. I’d be interested in joining.
