Have Pity on the Color Blinds...

Ummm, you do know that Nack is colorblind?

That is true; I have a red-green deficiency similar to Casper's.

Originally, I had colored the candidate plays in black, red and blue. However, to minimize any possible confusion when I referred to the player of the blue checkers in the text, I changed the blue candidates to green. Even though I then had difficulty telling the red from the green, I hoped I'd be the only one!

Long ago when I traded commodities, we referred to the months a year away as the "red" months, and the months two years out as the "green" months. The memory of that contributed to my choice of red for bad plays and green for very bad plays. Stick pointed out that GnuBG and XG designated bad as green and very bad as red, which is the opposite way. :)
