January 8, 2009

Josh Purinton announces

After about 10 days of computation, Aunt Beast verified that 1(17)1[2-4] is a misere P-position. This was joint work with Roman Khorkov, who generously pointed out the winning move in many positions that would have taken far too long for Aunt Beast to evaluate on her own.

The following misere sprouts results have now been verified by exhaustive search:
