...and so it won't be long (barring too many bugs!) before we have it here on the live site.

When we have it, we'll have these four versions (the links link to the rules pages):
  • Pente - The basic version of the game (first move in center of board, all other moves unconstrained, first to capture 10 stones or place 5+ in a row wins).
  • Pro Pente - Exactly like Pente but Player 1's second move must be outside the 5x5 grid in the center; this compensates for Player 1's advantage going first.
  • Keryo-Pente - Pente but you can also capture lines of three stones, and it takes 15 captures to win; otherwise just like Pente.
  • Pro Keryo-Pente - You guessed it, a version of Keryo-Pente where Player 1's second move must be outside the 5x5 grid in the center.
When I say it "won't be long," I'm guessing we'll have Pente here on the main site by the end of next weekend.

Enjoy your games,
