Palm vs Sweeper (incomplete dec 06)

If it's OK with you, I'd like to dip my metaphorical toe in the water with a game of Single Unlimited.

And my regards to your daughters, rumour has it you have several!

Hi Sweeper,

thx for answering to my topic.
Off course I'll accept to play against you.

Single unlimited is fine by me.
Will you start, or shall I do?
If you let me start then my first move will be: d E14 - J14

BTW, good luck.
Greetings,
Palm

OK then, since you have posted a move, let's say you're dwarves, and I'll kick off with: T H9-H10

Thanks -

Sweeper.

d K1 - K14

T H7-J6

d D13 - L13

T H10 - K12 xL13

First Blood.

d K14 - K12 x K12

Second as well.

And there's plenty more where that came from!

T J9 - J13 xK12 xJ14

d J15 - O10

I have to go, it's to bloody down there .....

T J13 - K14 xL14 xK15

Too bloody right!

d B11 - N11

T K14 - K13

d O5 - O9

T K13 - L12 xM13

d N12 - M11

Interesting move. I confess I didn't see that one.

T L12 - K12

I was hoping for that (sorry).
d A10 - N10

No apologies necessary, it was a good combination.

T J8 - K8

d L2 - L9

T K8 - L7

d L9 - L11

T J6 - K6

d M3 - M8

Excellent move Palm, I must say. Completely blindsided me. Oh well... the Show Must Go On...

T K12-L12 xL11 xM11

Thanks for the compliment.
And on we go then....

d M8 - L7 x L7

T L12 - M11 xN10 xN11

I've just been looking through the first round of your current game against Magrat. Are trolls your preferred side or was that just a particularly good game for you?

I don't have any preffered side. I like to play with both sides. But when you make me chose, I would say: Dwarves.

d L7 - K6 x K6

Yes, I find the way the game flows back and forth with players' understanding of it quite fascinating. I started off thinking that dwarves had no real purpose except to be massacred. I then discovered that actually it was the trolls who were axe-fodder... I think I'm on my third or fourth stage of enlightenment now, though I fully expect to be seriously chastened by the end of this game!

T J7 - J6 xK6

d O9 - G2

T J6 - J5

d P9 - H2

d H2 - B8

T E8-F9 xE10

Sorry for the delay, I've been away on work business, and nowhere near a Web connection. Nice move again by the way. I thought I had your rabble on the left hand side ready to mince, but you have succeeded in making the position defensible, damnit! I suspect it may cost me another troll to break that lot!

Hi Sweeper,
You don't have to make your apologies for the delay. We don't play within any time restrictions.
Thx for the compliment again.
I'll go and defend that block. But I think taht it will cost you 2 Troll's instead off only 1, but we will see later on who will be right

d C12 - C8

T F9 - E9

You may be right, you have a habit of springing things on me that I hadn't seen coming... but I learn fast! (For a troll at least).

d D3 - D9

T E9 - D8 xC8 xD9

d B8 - D8 x D8

T F7 - E7 xD8

I see what you mean about needing to burn two trolls to break this lot. The question is, is it worth it?

That's what I cannot deside for you. But hey, if it was me then .....

d J1 - B8

Fortunately I don't have to decide right away, but can spend at least one move doing a bit of housekeeping!

T M11 - N10 xO10 xO11

d G1 - B6
