What's funny is that if you'd made the right second-to-last move, you would have tied me, and won by virtue of playing the last piece. I think my fourth move could have been better. ]:P

1. mathgrant wins 13-12.
2. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board ceeeff
3. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board boxes
4. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board boxes
5. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board diagonals2
6. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board diagonals2
7. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), random board

Begin!

If you say so.  I don't see it.

Tyla: Ty Ty ty Ty Ty Ty
Tyla: we need more tys
Selden: No, no, no. Then we'd need a tybreaker.
* Tvorsk snickers!
Tyla: ...
Tyla: that was...
Tvorsk: Tyla, the word you're looking for is "beautiful". {;)
Virmir: I need to hire Selden as an editor. [;)

Bit of a defensive strategy.  Not sure how it will do in the long run.

By my calculations, we are tied 15-15, and I win by virtue of last move.

Instead of an S, you should have played an I vertically in the upper-left corner. This would have prevented all further moves in that area and saved 1 more X, making the score 16-15 in your favor.

1. mathgrant wins 13-12.
2. mathgrant wins 15-15.
3. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board boxes
4. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board boxes
5. mathgrant(X) vs Selden(O), board diagonals2
6. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), board diagonals2
7. Selden(X) vs mathgrant(O), random board

Since you have stated that you will be gone for some time, I'll give you until my half-birthday, November 26, to start this game without getting a strike. After that, you'll have until November 30 to avoid elimination by default. I'll post in this thread on November 23 to remind you. ]:P
