Game Notes

Question 1

Name the different steps in the process of a game.

Answer 1

1. Read the Stimulus: ID variable sets. Determine the “base”. Establish if the game is “one to one” or Overloaded or Underfunded. For Underfunded games add the variable “E” to represent possible Empty slots (this restores the game to a 1:1). In 2:2 relationship, set the base horizontal, and stack the moving pieces vertically.
2. Diagram Rules: Make external and internal diagrams. Make Internal MBT placements first.
3. 1 Make Inferences: Look for linkage, combination, restrictions and avoid false inferences. L+R inferences.
4. 2 Make external and internal diagrams.
