Cordialement,

I keep seeing the term "generalization of Hex" bandied about to
describe variants of Hex and families of variants of Hex. Most
recently in Board Game News:

"Mark Steere has designed . . . Atoll and Begird . . . [which] are
generalized forms of the games Hex and Y. . . . Have other designers
already covered this territory?"

"Eric, . . . Nick Bentley's Mind Ninja is another stone placement game
which is a generalization of a number of designs, including Hex and
Y."

"Good call, Larry. . . . Mind Ninja actually encompasses Atoll..."

There is only one generalization of Hex: Atoll. Atoll is a precisely
defined, infinite set of games all of whose members share the central,
defining, geometric principals of Hex: The goal is to connect opposite
segments, and on a filled board you have exactly one winner. In the
special case of Atoll in which the set member has the least allowable
number of perimeter segments, four, Atoll is exactly equivalent to
Hex.

Bill, you seem to have stopped short of fully generalizing Atoll's
central, defining principle. It's not just a question of how many
sides a board has. It's also a question of how many segments a
board's perimeter is divided into.

I have asked this before on here I believe. Well, the death of
Fischer begs the question once more. I also posted this on Boardgame
geek:

Bobby Fischer's death is in the news, and causes people to remember
the 1970s, when chess was king, and people tuned into PBS to watch
chess. Chess was a culturally iconic back then. I remember reading Mad
Magazine when I was a kid, and they actually did a spoof with a chess
based superhero. Fischer made all the magazine covers, and it was
WWIII on the board. It wasn't just the Cold War either. When America
beat Russia in the Winter Olympics at hockey, and played them, there
wasn't an outbreak of hockey all over, like there was with Chess. I
remember when I was a kid in the 1970s, there was a chess store that
opened up near where I lived.

Atoll, like Hex and Y, has the property that on a randomly filled
board exactly one player achieves his objective.

dude, how many email addresses do you have?
I keep blocking them, but I keep seeing your posts.
I just checked my list of blocked senders, and there are 42 that are yours.
