Dvonn
I'm playing black. What would you do in this case? I chose not to immediately take the Dvonn in the upper right. Instead I moved the three-stack in the lower left. Was this a mistake? I don't yet know. I'm in the middle of this game with Fairwood. His ranking is terrible, but I'm feeling pushed to the limit! Ranking, Stack, Lower, Middle, Kids Rugs, Left, Game, Feelings

Dvonn
Playing black against Mr. Greedy I have a critical decision to make. I chose not to recapture the Dvonn, but instead did e4-c4. I think this was a mistake. I ended up losing the game. Should I have recaptured the Dvonn? Greedy, Choose Me, Board Games, Black, Tabletop Games, Kid Friendly Rugs

Mr. Greedy (white) has lost control of the rightmost Dvonn. You might think that the leftmost 3 protects this Dvonn, but you would be wrong. Why? Two By Two, Spoiler Alert, Wrong, Lost, Control

White (Mr. Greedy) only has two good moves to play against me and probably win. Find the two moves. Spoiler alert: The two moves are e4-c4 and f4-c4.

Nasty decision for white. I considered unusual moves like g1-i1. h4-j4 fails with black's response g2-j2. Years later I look at this in 2020 and I like moving white's 4-stack to the right. This will either save those 6 points for white or stop black moving the rightmost two Dvonn into the centre of the board. Do you see how? Unusual, Home Decor Decals, Fails, Centre

What an interesting set-up between the two top ranked players on LittleGolem. I'm playing white and much prefer my set-up. Mr. Unbeatable is playing black and he probably feels his set-up is superior ;-)

I'm playing black against Morten Mertner and I'm in trouble. There are some reasonable moves... can you find them? i2-g2... c4-c2... e4-g4. Unfortunately - nothing is convincing... Black People, Table Games

Canadian Ace (white) wins the 26th championship if he wins this game. What's the right move? Almost surely d1-f3 with the natural follow-up f3-i3. D1, Natural, White

Canadian Ace grabs a Dvonn against Morten Mertner. How does black respond? b2-d2 will make any jump with the Dvonn painful for white, but would end up with white jumping c2-c4 which makes the jittery top stable. c4-d4 looks best.

What's the best move for white?Canadian Ace (white) will win the twenty sixth Dvonn championship if he can win this game. Spoiler alert is not necessary as the position is complex. I don't like c5-c4 because it does not address the top being too teeteringly heavily white. I was immediately drawn to h5-j5 to try seal up that vital corner. I was secondarily attracted to the move that was made by CanadianAce: a1-b1. This move has two natural and vital follow-ups b2-c3 and b2-d3.
