Hello,

I have done a computer-based analysis to find out

which of the two game variants "Ewn" and "Ewn with Black

Hole" is more difficult to master. I got a result, but

want to publish it only after I got feedback on the same

question asked to you.

So, all here who are familiar with both variants, should

write me their opinion in a personal message. Best would

be to classifiy in one of the following five groups:

(a) Ewn is clearly more difficult.

(b) Ewn is slightly more difficult.

(c) Both variants are difficult to the same degree.

(d) BlackHole is slightly more difficult.

(e) BlackHole is clearly more difficult.

Of cause, additional explanations for your opinion are

welcome.

Thanks in advance to all, who contribute.

I want to put both types of results (my computer analysis

and your opinions) in a research paper.

Ingo.

I'm not entirely sure I know what word I'm looking for, but I find BH more annoying. The luck aspect causes you to occasionally perform moves with drastically outcome than what you'd ideally intend. (Perhaps that means I've not mastered it as much as vanilla. However, I've not noticeably been performing worse at it, AFAICT.)

Hi Phil, thx for feedback.

But please, please in PM - not to influence the other

responders.
