a) they’re probably tired after a long hard tournament, b) there’s $100k on this match, and c)if you can work out the math so quick, you should be playing in the world championships too. But perhaps you don’t know as much about the game as these guys or me:)

Paul Magriel is some kind of BG “god”. I’ve met him, and even been lucky enough to play ( and win!) a short match or two online when he was a.k.a. X-22. For all he did for the game, most serious players know of him and make allowances.

For this game, isn’t there always a mathematically best move to play?
