Welcome to a strategy game unlike any other. All you have to do is win three games and you will walk out of here with one million dollars. I need two people to play.

Player 1: Ddavenport $0 Player 2: Mikedodgers $0 02As soon as Dave chooses his color, we can start a game. We're starting with big money here. $10,000 for the first game! 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 OO21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 OO 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 Since we have no champion yet, we can't determine board size or blocks, so we'll go with a default. Board sizes: Small (6 x 6), Regular (7 x 7) or Large (8 x 8) Blocks are spaces you can't move to. We'll discuss those when it happens. I'll explain the rest of the rules when we get a color.  |

While I'm waiting for Davenport to pick a color, I'll explain the rules. They're really deceptively simple. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
here's how you play: On your turn, you may take your piece and move it 1 or 2 spaces in any direction, including diagonally or orthoganally. (e.g. 11 to 32 is a legal move, as long as you can move 1 or 2 spaces in a single turn)
If you move 1 space in any direction, the piece will be split. You will literally have two pieces next to each other, like this:
OO OO 13 14
IN this case, blue moved from 11 to 12. You see that both 11 and 12 have pieces.
A 2-space move will cause the original space to be vacated:
71 72 OO
In this case, red moved from 71 to 73, and since red moved 2, the space at 71 is vacated.
If your moved or split piece lands next to any pieces of your opponent, you will capture them and they will become your pieces!
The person who "owns the board" will win. Ties are possible because of blocks and board sizes, but they are rare. Since this is your first time playing, we will not have any blocks. I will ask in future games if you want to place them. A block is a space you cannot land on, but you may move over in a 2-space move.
The first game is for $10,000. In the event of a tie, the next game will grow in progression ($20,000, $30,000, etc.) unless someone is playing for $1,000,000.
If you understand the rules, please say so and once Davenport chooses his color, we'll start.
