I think from there I've got to try cutting your king (with the 3 widening the pocket), but let's say I miss: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/e1e4a I was wondering about planning a few moves ahead (as you might in chess). It feels like in theory, moves like forking, revealing and attack, and...

I'll use my 11 to bank your king for the corner. I probably miss, but I disable your king: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/a0558

I'll kick my 11 into your king, sabotaging him: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/d5590

That was a great placement of the 6, by the way

Hah, you're right. I should probably have tried for that. I shoot the 10 off the 6, to the opposite long rail: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/b799f Although it occurs to me after that I could have just shot the 10 without hitting the 6.

Odd behavior from the link! (Hopefully easy to fix.) Maybe chalkysticks can't cope with a lot of lines.

I wonder whether that's because just rolling a ball somewhere usually doesn't achieve enough, or if it's just because a pool player doesn't naturally think of that kind of shot. Perhaps time will tell! I'll shoot the 4 into your king and draw back to the rail: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/3eaba

Oh no! I thought it was my 10 and 11 that were sabotaged! It's been a long day :LOL: After an unreasonable amount of thinking and changing my mind, I push the 10 to the long rail: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/0e98f

Good shot. I had a hard time thinking about whether I had to take the 5 and sacrifice my 10 (which would be close to a stalemate-at-best postition in chess terms), but I think I found a good solution by recruiting a ball: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/71351

I bank your king up-table. As I used the 11, he's now frozen: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/d70c2 Edit: Blank link again, so:

The shot didn't occur to me, but I don't think I'd have made it :LOL: Yes, not disclosing it would be smart, and it helps keep the opportunity to 'bluff'. I recruit the 9-ball: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/ed044

I shoot your two and draw into the 3 (to freeze it next time): https://pad.chalkysticks.com/77690 You sank my assassin. I think the original rules about re-nominating don't quite apply now. Personally I like the idea of no re-nomination (it's simpler, and a player will always be able to use...

I bank the 2 for the corner but miss :( https://pad.chalkysticks.com/67aad https://pad.chalkysticks.com/3b032 [Edit: I've tried twice and both links click to a blank screen for me. Do they work for you DW? If so you can take either for the next shot, or if they don't I'll try again later on...

Another go at my last ball: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/66fa3 I agree with you, it's good to be able to just decide when it's your turn again. The more secrecy the better!

Pin: Also as an experiment, I place my king here: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/d6ce2 My last ball: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/0e6cb

Let's try it now. Also as an experiment, I place my king here: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/d6ce2 (The idea is that with the 8 obstructing, the 15 can only be shot to the lower middle pocket from here.)

TS suggested keeping the shots in order, so people can click through them shot by shot. This should be easy enough by quoting the previous shot post and adding the new shot to the list, for example: Added the 6: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/de4de

Correct. But... Taking this into account, shall we say no restrictions around hitting / using the 8 for now? (And we can try introducing variations later.)

For the 8, I suggest a rule that you can never hit the 8 with the cue ball (unless the cue ball has hit another OB first). For the penalty, maybe the opponent can re-spot a pocketed ball (by the same rules as for a wrongfully pocketed ball)? I place the 11: https://pad.chalkysticks.com/ba073...
