Welcome to the Unlur discussion group. This group is meant for discussions about all aspects of the game Unlur, including it's tactics and strategies,...
I have a question. When I play (I do it on the big board (8)) I have the impression that white acquire more and more advantage the longer the game is, because...

I think I have found a proof that Unlur cannot end in a draw. It may not be the easiest proof, but I believe that it is at least correct. Theorem: Unlur cannot...
In addition to the normal winning conditions, there are a few other configurations which guarantee a win for one of the players. Ie when the game reaches such...
ASCII Diagram ... We can use the following ASCII diagram for sending message to the list. O = Black X = White [A] 1 2 3 4 5 6 / / / / / / 7 A - · · · · ·...
A fork is a group of pieces of the same color which connects three alternate sides. We have two examples below. O = Black X = White [A] 1 2 3 4 5 6 / / / / / /...
... I think it only appears to be that way. Because if white has an advantage in the end-game, he probably also had an advantage in the beginning, though it ...
... Is it possible to send html tags in the mail ? If so, then it should be possible to hardcode a fixed width font for the diagram. I think courier is...
... My suggestions are.... 1) I find the "?" too big, why not using something like "." for an empty hex? It would be more readable I think. 2) I was wondering...

Your second example is impossible, because there are more white pieces than black ones! The name of the sides: it is useful to say deep and light sides (to be ...

... I suspect that, without any additional rule, most eqylur games will end with a draw. Pascal...
I suspect that the inventor of Unlur was aware of these possible variations as well. However, the beauty with Unlur is that one player has to win, and, ...
... Yes, recently I was aware of a sort of Eqilur. Both palayers attemps to create a Y, but they lose if they create a line. One player must win, however I...
I have a question regarding the numbering of moves. In Hex for instance, the moves are numbered such that black's first move is move number one, white's first...
I like your 2nd suggestion better. Personally, I like numbering each double ply by a single number even better, as in chess. But it all depends what the ...
... I use negative numbers to note moves in the contract. (Usualy when I report move on a printed board (kifu in go)). Pass is then last negative move and move...

... I don't like this chess notation. In chess, pieces are moving so you can't report the moves on a printed board. So their notation is understandable. I...

... First, i find letter not to be appropriate. What if some game has more than 26 moves before the pass ? The simplest possibility is to number the moves as...
I prefer to know where I can find the white moves, rather than knowing where i can find the moves of play one. So if you prefer this suggestion, I think it is...
... First move is of course -1... this way you don't need to know when the pass will occur to start recording the game. I also think it is better to have white...

... Moreover, i must add that what I suggested before is not quite true. Indeed, even by making white play move 1 or 2 first, according to parity, we still...
The minuses are only markers to say that 'these moves are different from the other moves'. Then I think it would be aesthetically better to use Roman numerals...

As you probably know, I want to organize the first Unlur tournament by the begining of next year. I'd like to know opinions and suggestions about how the...
I think that the tournament should be held in flesh and blood, otherwise people can cheat. I think that the competition system should be a round robin, as it...

Why would people cheat? There is no money at stake or anything... Also, if someone can write a computer program that can beat me, I'd be happy to play it :)....
This is my proposal for the tournament. Ay question, doubt or suggestion would be welcome. It is going to be played on the small board (6 cells per side) It...
