Not at all; I'm happy to hear someone is even trying it! I'm honored that you are playing this simple hack of mine. -tom On Tue, Jun 18, 2019 at 5:57 PM Allan Wechsler <acwacw@gmail.com> wrote:
AHA! I must have spaced out about the obligatory extra move after scoring. Let me try again. Sorry for the false alarm.

If anyone else sees this, please open your JavaScript console, cut and paste the game log there, and send it to me.
Remember, if you make a triangle, you must move again; it is not optional.
The computer's responses are shown in red.
The only possible pass is the human (hero) at the very start of the game; the computer should never pass.
To start another game just click on the board at the end of the previous game.

Tom, the game as set up isn't fair -- the computer can pass in the middle of the game, and the human can't. I suspect this is a bug.

Dots and Boxes is a nice simple children's game, right? Elwyn Berlekamp (the "wyn" in Winning Ways) showed us the surprising depths to this game.
Here's a tiny variant on a tiny board; just nine triangles. You get to choose to go first or second. Can you beat it?
I'm finding it surprisingly difficult.

This should work on your mobile phone too.
