here is the link to quincunx.

http://spjustice.tripod.com/quincunx.html

the number of stones of each side is way off and hes using the entire board so to do a video i would need to use a actual board to play it out. and i have not looked at it much yet to find the solution. so we will see. maybe i'll make a vid of it, not sure yet.

I see only one solution for One Way but I found a second solution with my program for these four puzzles:
Crossbow
Boondock
God's Eye
Dog Food

so, my video has received close to 60 unique views. so far ive gotten just 2 acknowledgments of its existence. i am surprised by the low show of interest. perhaps i need to make the videos more entertaining, or perhaps im wasting my time to dive into these sort of projects due to lack of audience. not sure. :/

Puzzles for Pente

All puzzles are player 1 to move and win in X number of moves. The number of moves refers only to player 1's moves, so for player 1 to win in four moves, there will be 7 stones placed, four by player 1 and three by player 2. For White and Black, captures already made are in parentheses followed by their stones on the board. Only the first move of each puzzle solution is given, if you need more explanation, email me. A few puzzles accidentally have two solutions and are marked with *.

Oh wow, I haven't even heard of most of these puzzles! It really would be great to be able to see these. I hope that we can find a way to post all of these into the "Puzzles" section of this site...

funny thing is i have heard of these before, but can't seem to recall where ive seen them. perhaps they are in the 1980's pente books.

I think that Quincunx by Rollie Tesh also has one additional solution. This solution is very similar to the suggested one and other key stones are same but first move can be B16 instead of C17.

Am i right? Or maybe i missed something?

Bumping this thread, which contains more puzzles (and solutions for puzzles) created by Rollie Tesh, who died three years ago.

Retired from TB Pente, but still playing live games & exploring variants like D, poof and boat
