Well, I know I haven't seen nearly everything yet (as far as Pente or anything else goes), but i've now come one step closer, after taking a look at Jack Schidt's win despite having a triple cap busted on him.

well the cap was certainly interesting, but that's not a line you'll see in any game between two skilled players. what i want to see is a triple cap happen in a good line.

I've read about one or two others (that's the first I've actually seen), but they seem to occur so rarely that we'll have to wait awhile to see that, I have a feeling.
Retired from TB Pente, but still playing live games & exploring variants like D, poof and boat
I have to agree with KarlW on this one. Most of the moves in that game made no sense. If we are going to look at bizarre capture situations, we should examine my game against Gary Barnes where he made 4 or 5 octuple captures in one game against me.
If I do not accept a game invite right away, it means I will once I have fewer games in progress.
