TLDR: you're wrong.
C/C, C/SW, C/S, [opponent takes C], C/SE, NE/SW, NE/S...
after C/SE, your opponent has control and can go anywhere that is available in the center board they've already won, so you can't assume you're next play will be NE.
More importantly after you've sent them to the SW board with NE/SW they can go anywhere except the middle and so they then have the initiative.
Hmm, It looks like you switched notation halfway through? I was assuming board/position and only showing player 1 moves but that doesn't after losing the center board
Regardless you lose the initiative after 5 moves.
- quesera 13y agoOuch, yes. My EDIT passages are totally wrong. Sorry, I oversimplified the rules there. The initial idea (extending Orwin Gambit) should still be leverageable into a much better position. This might fall short of a certain win though, if the opponent plays a proper response strategy -- which we should probably assume if the contestants are peer mathematicians. :)
- rdsubhas 13y agoHow about an addition to the rules: | The very first move in the game must not be in the center board (or more specifically CC) So player has to pick some other board. If they choose C in that board, then they're fucked, the next player will end up playing the Orwin Gambit. So both players will avoid C like the plague until they're sure the Orwin Gambit is no more applicable. Even if I start with some board (say NE), and in the first move itself I play a C and thereby giving the other player an option of taking the Orwin Gambit, it still can't be effectively used. Because I can later play NE again in the C table, thereby outplaying the gambit (since the C inside NE is already used). Edit: Formatting
