    FREE chance at 100 SBR Points!
    The first 5 people to beat me at the game Reversi 6x6 will receive 100 SBR points each. If you lose, you don't owe me anything. You're probably thinking... What the hell is Reversi 6x6? It's an incredibly simple game that can literally be learned in under a minute. Some of you might know the game as Othello from your youth. Reversi 6x6 is essentially the same on a smaller board. If you are interested in this 100 point giveaway you need to sign up at http://www.itsyourturn.com/ It's Free! After you sign up you will need to invite Holden2341(that's me) to a single or dual game of Reversi 6x6. OR, just let me know that you are interested in the challenge and you can tell me your Handle at ItsYourTurn.com in this thread and I will invite you to a game(or dual game, 1 of each color).

    More about Reversi 6x6... like I said before it's an incredibly simple game to learn. This will not be a live game. You will more than likely just make a move or 2(or more) a day. After the game board fills up... which will be 16 moves(or less) by each player the game will be over. If you have more pieces than me at the end of the game I will send you 100 SBR points. Feel free to use a computer program if you wish. Anyone that beats me will receive 100 SBR points regardless of how you won. I should mention that I'm definitely not unbeatable. In past Tournaments I've lost approximately 18% of my games. You can invite me to as many games as you want just as long as I haven't given you 100 SBR points yet or given away 500 SBR points total. I will accept EVERY single invite but you can only play me 2 games(dual game, one of each color) at a time. If anyone has any questions let me know. Good luck!

    This is what the Reversi 6x6 game looks like after the first move:

    This might help some of you to remember playing the game in your youth.

        Nice gesture, JG.

        You seem pretty damn smart, though. Usually playing a really smart guy at some board game like this doesn't end well.

        I'm on to you, John Galt!!

          Thanks for your kind words Opie but I assure you that there are plenty of people at SBR and in my real life that would disagree with you about me being a smart guy.

            How to Play Reversi <dir>Each reversi piece has a black side and a white side. On your turn, you place one piece on the board with your color facing up. You must place the piece so that an opponent's piece, or a row of opponent's pieces, is flanked by your pieces. All of the opponent's pieces between your pieces are then turned over to become your color.

            For example, suppose you are White, and there is a row of black pieces with one white piece on its end.

            <center></center>

            You can place a white piece on the other end of the black row and capture the black pieces.

            <center></center>

            The object of the game is to own more pieces than your opponent when the game is over. The game is over when neither player has a move. Usually, this means the board is full.

            You can capture vertical, horizontal, and diagonal rows of pieces. Also, you can capture more than one row at once. In the picture below, if white places a piece where the red arrow is pointing, then all the black pieces in the three rows indicated by red lines will be captured.

            <center></center>

            Beware! Taking as many of your opponent's pieces as you can in one move is not always a good idea.

            Remember, you must place a piece so that it captures opponent's pieces. You can not place it anywhere you want on the board.

                    Tried it, would be a lot more fun if you could play against the computer, but you have to play against another person which makes it wayyyyy to slow.

                      Yeah, you did. No problem. I invited you to Reversi 6x6. The 8x8 game will be cancelled.

                        Understandable. If you make 2 moves a day the game will be over in about a week. It's not quick but hey... it's free!

                                                    I'm in. I didn't want to invite you in case you already have too many games on the go so just let me know when you're ready: sbrshari. Or one of you other guys can invite me as well if you want so we can practice on how to take John down.

                                                    Reading up on strategy now. Need to get back the points I lost in the book on the greyhounds last night
