After 6, there is no way to make the game last past 12 anyway, so you may as well give it to /dev/joe as quickly as possible. Although it would be just as fast to concede 1 gamepoint here. **two-star Doncha just hate it when people do this?

Well, let me just confess here that one of the things that makes me an awful chess player, and probably tromino go too, is that I have a difficult time figuring out long-term strategy. I mean past about a move or two. :-) I imagine that if this duel went on to infinity, I might never win another game from /dev/joe, since I'm just bad at these kinds of games. > Doncha just hate it when people do this? Sorry. Well, you _are_ my evil twin, aren't you?
