Just a reminder: when you post a comment you must include the entire move list in your comment up to the variation you want to discuss. This site does not remember what the moves are in a game which is entered in the first comment manually from move 1.

BTW on the main page, why is CosimoC listed as the loser when Lindsayvoigt forfeited on the first move?

If white takes 1.p11, and it cannot be swapped, I wonder why Twixtbot do not try something at the bottom of the board, such as the symmetric 2.p15. There's more room going downward. After 1.p112.p73.r74.q95.r126.o57.f88.f49.j610. m11 is obscure to me. I believe that the situation was compromised in the upper part of the board, due to the huge advantage of the unswapped 1.p11. However, before giving up there, I would have tried something such as 10.j8, that is a bridge at 4:4 with f4 and 6:1 with p7, that is a part of the strong three pegs barrier. Perhaps, it could work...
