See, the date came up as before I posted the results to Round 9, so I didn't check it when I gathered up the moves. As far as I can tell, the only net game change would be to move your cell from G5 to F5, and remove two star's cell from H5. I am forwarding this message to the game board and will post a new grid if necessary to avoid confusion. This will not eliminate two star's viruspoint, as he had a healthy lead this round.
