In Response To: Actual sequence (John O'Hagan)

31P-43S-C-T-65S-31b-32 at 𣯔

Thanks for letting me know which sequence happened, John. Now we have a header for the one that actually occurred.

Here is a fuller list of plausible fifth-roll sequences:

31P-43S-65S-31b-32-g
31P-51S-65S-32@-32-g
31P-52S-65S-31@-32-g
41$-52S-64C-31@-32-g
51$-52S-63C-31@-32-g
62$-52S-61E-31@-32-g
62S-52S-61P-31@-32-g
63S-52S-51P-31@-32-g

(I'm not sure that all positions give White a correct double after the second roll at -4-2, but I'm pretending it's g from the outset rather than inserting the C-T; gammon go is more generic.)

The only way to be sure someone looking up the position later will be able to find it is to create headers for all eight sequences; clearly too cumbersome. However, some day, hopefully, there will be a program smart enough to translate a sequence into all plausible (same-length) alternatives and interface it with a search engine.
