Hello Owen,

I will undertake the necessary operations as gentle as possible. ;)

Yes, your recapture is possible: Gess 701 x Gs 704

I continue:

S133 x Cs127 => 1
you could make a recapture by your knight....
nevertheless I will continue this way:
G732 - 731 => 1
B825 - 823 => 2
E133 x Gess704 => 1
---------------
20 moves

Kind regards

Klaus

hello klaus. ok, that was very painful, i've almost dried the tears :D yes, knight on 127 after recapture, so:

B711 x G731 => 2

no recapture from you, so i regenerate moves and:

B731 - 738 => 6
B706 - 715 => 6
N127 x e704 => 2
Gn 704 - 714 => 6

i hope thats ok. if theres a mistake i will redo.

carry on being cruel and heartless, all the best for now, owen.

Hello Owen,

you are trying to change the rules, Owen. :-) You spended 22 moving points. Two points over the limit...
I'm always heartless as you mentioned. :-)

Kind regards

hello klaus. sorry for the delay, been working late for a couple of days. i smell a trap, and i know i'm about to do the obvious move but i have to do it just to find out what devious plan you have hatched :D

here goes: B715 x B823 => 5

i guess you will recapture, but will wait for your response! i'm sure i will feel the pain again soon. all the best for now, owen.

Hello Owen,

there's no need for an apology. There are other more important things than Grand Conquest. But Grand Conquest tributes the spice!

I can appease you. No pain this time (I dose it), only
the recapture: B822 x B823

Kind regards

hello klaus. my response, again obvious, and i know i'm getting myself into trouble here is:

B735 x B823 => 6

so that's 11 moves done on this turn so far. looking forward to your response,

tried the link for the pdf you emailed me, but can't get it despite having photoshop elements 10. is there another way?

Hello Owen,

when I was reading your last response I thought: Now it's me who is getting into big trouble...
But then I looked at the map and noticed that your boat on space 735 needs 7 points to reach my boat on 823. That's impossible.
Otherwise it would be horrible if your board differed from the "standard" board in this regard, too. In this case we would have to compare every space and every line.
I upload an image of the current position so you can see my map. (click on the map to enlarge the image.)
Edit: I've checked the English Puzzle Book. Indeed, the American vinyl board differs from the "standard" board in this regard, too... On the vinyl board there is a direct line between space 735 and 715.

Email me your address, Owen. I will send you a CD. :-)

Kind regards

Klaus

hello klaus. yes, i definitely have the line from 735 direct to 715, which is 6 moves from 735 to 823. it is different from the map you have. i think the gods have decided to look after me! i have also noticed that you are taunting me by displaying all my pieces you have captured, you are indeed the master of psychological warfare :D

it does alter the game a lot, how do you want to sort this out? i can restart my turn, perhaps ignore the line 735-715 and do alternative moves? clearly if we carry on then you could recapture my boat with your Gk, and i potentially could take your Gk with my Gn. this scenario wouldnt happen on your map.

thanks for sending a cd, i will email my address. all the best for now, owen
