Hello Christian and Ed!

This is the best webpage dedicated to abstract games I know. I enjoy reading your chapters about strategy&tactics, analysis, examples...I have always interested on studying strategy, tactics, depth, replayability of games (in fact I spend more time studying games than playing them!).

In my opinion Go is the most complex game invented. Go is more about long-term strategy than about tactics/combinations, but it is so deep than even its tactical complexity is not far than chess.

According to your concep about Strategy/Tactic scope of a gme, if we rate a game purely strategic as Hex with a '5', and a game near purely tactical as Othello with a '1' (Are you agree?), how would you rate next games?:

Classics:

Chess
Draughts
Go

Your designs:

Grand Chess
Dameo
Hexdame
Bushka
Emergo
Havannah
The Glass Bead Game

And in term of depth/complexity? If we rate Go with a '5' (the most complexity level), how would you rate them?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Norber,

Tough questions. Is Go really more complex than Hex or Havannah? All are beyond perfect analysis and all are very 'computer resistent'. Objective measurement seems impossible (if not irrelevant).

The games you mention are all strategy games. GBG and Emergo strategies are fairly obvious though, so I'd label them the most tactical.

Thanks for your kind comments :)

Hi Christian & co,
I hope it's not too late, anyway it's the first entry for 2010:
Happy New Year!!

And I hope someone will make a Havannah program that can challenge you...

Regards, Paul.
