Since first place games don't come along very often (the 1868 game is only the 20th first place game ever in over six years), I thought it might be cool to add a section to the expert guide going through that game step-by-step, detailing my thinking process and other little tidbits in a "stream-of-consciousness" type of writing.
It's a work in progress... only the first page (covering only the first two words!) has been completed. Other "installments" will come soon enough. You can find it as the last item on the left-hand menu in the expert guide (you may have to scroll down a little). I called it "Anatomy of a 1st Place Game".
Yeah, it's somewhat verbose, but I think I write pretty eloquently, and it's relatively easy to follow along. Let me know what you think. :-)

P.S. BTW, if you're wondering... no, I didn't take screen shots of the game every step of the way, planning to write this up. The pictures of each turn are artifically reconstructed from scratch using a picture of a blank board, some tile pictures, MS-Paint, and a helluva lot of cut and paste. hehe :-) |
