hehe, not the case!

I've played about 15-20 times in the last 20 minutes and was studying his techniques/algorithm and found a way to beat him, using his own algorithm!


starting conditions.

4. ***
3. ****
2. *****
1. ******

Now, this only works for 1 intial conidtion, the one i primarily studied..anyway once he takes the front 5 and leaves one, you've won! (which happens quite often, i found)

here we go!
he takes front 5 leaves 1

4. ***
3. ****
2. *****
1. *
you take back 3 leave none

4.
3. ****
2. *****
1. *

he takes one of 2nd back row, leaves three (this is obviously his condiiotn to check in his algorithm!)

4.
3. ***
2. *****
1.*

you take 3 off of the 2nd front leave 2

4.
3. ***
2. **
1. *


once in this position you've won! (from any sequence)

he takes one of the row of three

leaves
4.
3. **
2. **
1. *

you take the single pearl to leave
4.
3. **
2. **
1.

he takes one to leave
4.
3. *
2. **
1.

now you take the row of 2
4.
3. *
2.
1.

Easy! Try it for yourself, once you see that he takes the inital 5 off of the front. You could use this reverse engineering for all his methods as i imagine it's all predetermined. But i am sick of that guys fucking voice!


Although, that's why playing agianst humans is more fun!
