Pente Player Introduction

May 31, 2019, 9:53 PM
Hello. I thought I might introduce myself since my first post was a jump in answer to a Watsu question.... My name is Marty. I started playing Pente while a student at OSU in 1980. I have great memories of sitting up late in the dorm room playing Pente and eating Dominos pizza (Sorry Marti!). I am pretty sure I played a few games here way back in the 2000"s or so. Not sure what my user name would have been. But I am more of a sitting across the table from opponents kind of player. About 10 years ago I met Cat Gabrel and the Dermers through kite flying and my interest in Pente was soon rekindled, and has been peaking lately. I received an autographed Decipher game from Gary in 2017. Probably will not hear much from me tho. I'm not very good at posting on forums.
I guess I am better at forums than I thought. Never been able to post a picture so easily.... Here is my original set from back in late 80/early 81. Thanks for looking.
Well, My Pente nerd meter went off this weekend when I heard that Gary was coming to town for the Rose Festival Kite fly in Broken Arrow. At dinner Saturday night I showed him my Antipalos game. It was loud there but I am pretty sure he said he had heard of it but not seen one before. Sunday he challenged me to play some Pente and whooped me 4 out of 5. That one game felt good tho.... And I asked him to sign my original board:
