So my friend and I were playing pente, and we're both novices. He put me in a position where it's pretty clear he wins for sure, so he ben me $5-$5000 that he would win, and I took it. I have 48 HOURS to think of a way to get out of it, and I'll get $5000 if I can pull out the win!! NO JOKE!! So if anyone can help me win this game, I PROMISE to send you 10%, although I'm pretty sure I'm fucked. Here's what the board looks like:
I'm x, he's o, and it's x's move:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - o - - - - - - - - - - x - - - - - - - - - - x - - - - - - - - - - x - - - - x - - - - - x x - - o - - - - - x o - x o - - - - - - - x - o o o - - - - - - o - - o - - - - - - - x - - - o - - - - - - - - - - - x - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Your only hope appears to be to use a strategy my young son employs when in this position:
Yell "EARTHQUAKE!" very loud and throw the board up in the air and then pretend to not know where the pieces were before the earthquake hit.
Since this strategy will only insure you a draw, I'll settle for $250.00. You can e-mail me through the site here and I'll give you my mailing address.

this has to be pente, not moku. x has too many stones to be next in moku, but whether it were pente or moku, x loses. u could hold a gun to his head and tell him where to play, or u could hack his pc and move for him, other than that and a few more creative "manipulations", x is toast.
