A New Verified Misere Outcome
January 8, 2009
Josh Purinton announces
After about 10 days of computation, Aunt Beast verified that
1(17)1[2-4] is a misere P-position. This was joint work with Roman
Khorkov, who generously pointed out the winning move in many positions
that would have taken far too long for Aunt Beast to evaluate on her
own.
The following misere sprouts results have now been verified by exhaustive search:
| Initial Spots | Winning Player |
