Hi, Dweebo, and thanks so much for putting this up. I hope my posts on this topic at Brainking didn't mislead you about one situation which can occur in the game. When I posted I forgot about this- if a situation such as: XOO_XO is in place and X plays at _ then captures and poofs must be evaluated simultaneously, I think, so that the line resolves to X____O. I hope I didn't throw you off. If your version is not like this, I would imagine it would still be quite playable and in most cases would not be different. P.S.-Mark's poof pente AI is set up along the lines I have just described. Thanks again so much. Tom
