Title: My screening game against bot_marwin
Post by Tellmarch on Mar 19^th, 2012, 11:58pm

Hi,

Tonight I decided i'd play for fun against a bot in the screening process, fully expecting to be crushed.

I was then very surprised when after 3 hours of play, at the move 45s (here is the position : )

Marwin then instantly plays 4 steps with his gold elephant to push the camel and horse to the east, preventing the goal, but I can of course undo his move in 2 steps, leaving me 2 other steps to do whatever I want, for instance bring a rabbit to F4 and force the win if I so wanted.

And of course, I blundered horribly instead, and lost :-)

I still don't really understand this game, so feel free to post any comments/analysis about my game :
