New to this game

Hi guys, can someone tell me the objective of this game and how to win? It looks fun. Thanks! :)

i don't know how to play einstein, but for any game's rules, on the main menu click 'games' then the game you want, then on the top right should be a link to 'rules'

You're trying to bring one of your pieces to the opposite corner by moving through empty spaces or by capturing (and eliminating) your opponent's pieces and yours. Usually games are played with the "three-out-of-five" system. That means you have to win three legs to win the whole game.

There are basically three ways to win:

1. My preferred one: eat your own pieces and when you have few strong (fast) ones, rush through the opponent's ones and reach upper-left corner before your opponent reach south east one. The danger is that is not easy to go through a mine field, so don't go down to 2- against 5+.

2. The bulldozer one is to keep a strong center of inter-defended pieces and eat all the opponent's ones (if he tries for 1. strategy).

3. Ypercube's one which beats my own two: have two sets of separated pieces, one set going to the west, and one set going to the north. So whenever you eat pieces of one group the other ones runs faster around the center!

Just my 2 cents, I'm sure other players and bots have different ways!

i am also new to this game

ypercube wins 62.5% of (8) games against me. Interesting to hear that some people have several specific strategy and what his stragedy is. Seems that his stretegy is pretty successfull.

My strategy is the pure propability. That means playing individually applied to the current situation. I`m playing this game for 8 years - in the past, I tried to have a "good" variable (and fast) stone combination on the board which seems to be perfect while having (for example) only the 1 and a 6 stone on the board - one of these stones to protect the opponets goal and one to attack. That seems perfect - flexible - however ,the propability to arrive the goal with such an attcking stone is 50% within 3 moves. So it seems that it would be very bad luck not to win such a game if a 1 or 6 is rolled. I was fixed on such a configuration, but the best way is not to be fixed on a specific strategy. Try to create fast own stones but take your chance with a "slower" stone" if your opponent is sleeping.

Forget to draw conclusions from such a small set as 8 matches.

To give you a somewhat different example:

The quickest human EinStein expert in the universe

is LuiseR. Once she played a 1 hour match (it was

stoppped after exactly 60 minutes), in front of a

notebook, against a Monte Carlo bot with 2000

random games for each move candidate. The final

score was 272:173 in favour of LuiseR.

(Divide 3600 seconds into 445 parts, and you know

what the average duration of a single game in that

match was.)

I had only a small series against Monte-Carlo 2000:

losing by 18 to 28. But in case the average game length

was about 25 seconds (instead of 8 or 9 seconds).

MOG

Ingo, sorry, I wrote with the nickname of my bot. Yes, I know that such a small number of games cannot give an accurate estimation which player is definitely the better one. But the players here are normally playing 3 point matches, so that the winning quotes against each other should be a bit more significant in comparison to quotes based on single (1 point) matches.

oh, yes, luises brain is able to calculate some teraflops more than others - if she's motivated. I think that there are no other players against whom she played so often like me . We have very often made 100 games in a row. With a specific strategy, I was most of the time able to play 50:50 against her. This strategy is always working, but cannot be carried out by bots. The strategy is very easy: speaking, bring her into discussions. Works fine on LG, too. She is currently 3 games only ahead in 101 (3 point) matches ;)

Oh yhw...

too many news in one message. I have to sleep about this.

Question to kp4to: Is "MOG" the down-under version of "omg"?

Ingo.

Suggestion: MOG = My own god! - kp4to is a self-deist, one that believe that divinity must be found inside oneself 8-) [hope you're not too conscious 'bout religion so that my joke won't be that innapropriate but it would kill me to silence my irony sense on this one]

it's a small step from kp4to to Spinoza...

Hi MRFvR and slaapgraap,
