In Response To: Outboarded? (Sam Pottle)

Hey, you logged in! :)

OK, I got caught doing something I very rarely do: posting a position which never actually occurred. I can comment later on why I did what I did, and show the original position, which is less of a challenge (but I still got it wrong).

And, yes, the posted position is possible -- White hits loose in the board multiple times; Blue gets in and out; White closes; Blue slides that checker up a few spots.... I think it's even possible with optimal play.
