At the time of his original contact, his game was unpublished. Because that delay was my fault, I gave Paul a pass. I had a feeling that would be a bit controversial, but just being in the contest is by no means a guarantee of victory. Granted, Paul's inclusion reduces the chances for all participants from 1/49 to 1/50, so I understand if this decision is upsetting.Daniel Solishttp://profiles.google.com/gobi81noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-71024478739835600672011-10-03T11:48:43.147-04:002011-10-03T11:48:43.147-04:001.

If you're playing with someone you live with, the online version might not be the most convenient, or you might like to see how people who've played for a bit might choose to set up.<br /><br />Either way, I would be happy to play a game of Crowns with you, or point a couple of other people your way, since I think it would help you to evaluate the game.Bradleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-89038745827954767262011-09-30T12:26:44.421-04:002011-09-30T12:26:44.421-04:00Sorry for the delayed reply.

Those a...Sorry it's taken so long to follow up. Those are good questions. For question B: if any piece can be pushed around in an infinite loop, it is automatically considered "pinched." It's removed from the game. I've only had this happen once so far, but it's good to know in case it comes up.<br /><br />Question A is different. In this case, the two red pieces on the right aren't pushing on the blue because they are not directly in line with the direction of the push. So, that means that (using your diagram above) left red pushes blue, and blue then pushes the right reds away (up and down-right, respectively). <br /><br />The simple rule to remember here is that a piece that is moving pushes a stationary piece (except in a pinch scenario). So left red is moving, which pushes blue, which then becomes a moving piece that pushes right reds. As long as there is room to make a buffer (i.e. no pinch), the moving piece pushes the stationary piece. This is important to remember because it's easy to slip into the mindset that the person whose turn it is only does the pushing, which isn't true.Dan Hopenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-69220545629380702792011-09-18T17:35:20.566-04:002011-09-18T17:35:20.566-04:00Hi Jeff.
