15-: The Empire Strikes Back

July 16, 2007

The Empire tightened its grip on 15- today, repeatedly beating back the Rebel forces in complicated tactical skirmishes. Alliance commander Roman Khorkov went so far as to say, "I am close to madness."

Earlier, two lingering email battles on the 19(21)20[6-14] front were resolved in AB's favor:

15- (Josh+AB* - Roman) 1(16)2 1(17)1[2,3] 4(18)17 4(19)18[5] 4(20)6 19(21)20[6-14] 21(22)7 6(23)22[7] 8(24)8[9-11] 12(25)12[13-14] 6(26)8 12(27@23)25 {Roman: "You lose, colleague."} 13(28)14 26(29)23[24] 13(30)13 14(31)28 14(32@30)31 {Roman: "amazing..."} I

15- (Josh+AB* - Roman) 1(16)2 1(17)1[2,3] 4(18)17 4(19)18[5] 4(20)6 19(21)20[6-14] 21(22)7 6(23)22[7] 8(24)8[9-11] 12(25)12[13-14] 6(26)8 12(27@23)25 13(28)14 I {Roman: "fantastic game"}

On July 14, AB found a new weapon in the 7(21)7[8-14] battle The new move, 14(22)14[8-10], seems to have the human champ on the defensive, at least for the time being.

15- (Josh[AB]*-Roman) 1(16)2 1(17)1[2,3] 4(18)17 4(19)18[5] 4(20)6 7(21)7[8-14] 14(22)14[8-10] 14(23)22[8] 19(24)20[15] 6(25)24 25(26@7)6 I

15- (Josh[AB]*-Roman) 1(16)2 1(17)1[2,3] 4(18)17 4(19)18[5] 4(20)6 7(21)7[8-14] 14(22)14[8-10] 14(23)22[8] 19(24)20[15] 11(25)11 9(26)10 7(27)12 12(28)13 {Roman: "misere-surprises"} I

15- (Josh[AB]* - Roman) 1(16)2 1(17)1[2,3] 4(18)17 4(19)18[5] 4(20)6 7(21)7[8-14] 14(22)14[8-10] 14(23)22[8] 19(24)20[15] 11(25)11 9(26)10 12(27)13 7(28)12 I

There is an email game in progress to further explore the position resulting from 14(22)14[8-10].
