What's happening in the world of pente? I see from the comments under our members that mmammel is working on pente for Windows and dweebo has resumed work on his version 3 of his awesome real-time site. This club is here to let people know about this kind of stuff, but you need to POST it to the message board rather than burying it in the comments section. I see several people in our merry little band who are on the cutting edge, so to speak, of many aspects of this game, so we have a unique opportunity here to get people fired up about the game again. To do this, though, we have to keep the message board active because that's where people go for information.
Now, back to the picture thing--I know I can get ahold of a glass board for a photo op, and I think that's a pretty good idea. However, I want feedback from everybody. What do you all think of joe's idea to have a glass board game shot for our club's home page?

>mmammel is working on pente for Windows Yes, besides upgrading it to Windows, I am working on using a Negamax search with a hash table -- in other words it will search faster.
>have a glass board game shot for our club's home page? Very cool! Does anyone actually have a glass board? I remember a link from Brian Wagners Pente page to a site that had a computer generated image of a glass pente board. It doesn't seem to be there anymore, anyone remember it?
Richard's PBEM Pente tournament will start very soon! (July 25th) Let me know if you want to join.
Later, Mark

I bought 36 globs of polished obsidian at a rock shop in Colorado during my honeymoon that I intend to use as pente stones. Does anyone have a more unusual pente accessory than that?

How about little plastic army men for game pieces. That's the way Penteman plays, he likes to capture (and torture, I suspect). Anyway, he should have quite a stone collection, he keeps snatchng all of mine!

Your best bet would be to do a search on Magnetic Go Boards. They have the same setup as pente boards. You could also try E-Bay. I haven't seen a magnetic pente board before, but I do use my magnetic go board quite a bit. The board is the same dimension (19 x 19) and there are two colors of magnetic stones (white and black). Good Luck on your hunt!
