Thanks Randy, for digging so deep into the archives and making the interesting comparison to Hive strategy nowadays. As you mentioned a missed win by White, I was stunned when I instantly spotted my missed win as Black at move 33. Later, it turned out you actually meant exactly that. :-) In my defense, I blame extreme tournament nervousness for my capital oversight. :-p It shouldn't happen, but it simply does - hence why I always preach to never resign prematurely no matter how hopeless the situation looks. Fighting things out until the bitter end helped me to become a better player. There's always the chance that even a game win in one move is overlooked...especially under time pressure. Can't wait to see your and Joe's new books getting revealed this year!

Thanks Christian for commenting! But more importantly, thanks for being my first Hive mentor and thanks for your contribution to this great game

@6:43 your graphic mentions a missed win by white... but you meant black. Still a great video.

You are welcome... and thanks for commenting!

Very cool. I looked back at some older games as well and I feel like people generally had a much worse understanding of tempo back then, which led to a lot of crazy back and forth games

In general, we have learned a lot. I hope that there is much more to learn in the future!

Hey Randy, exciting about your new book! Does it supplement or replace “Play Hive Like a Champion”? Thanks!
