Beta graph for sponno moves

I think there may be an error in the latest version.  Can you spot it?

The use if them in DBMM makes me think the rules must be complicated.

It depends on what you consider complicated.  I would say complex instead of complicated 

To me they create a bad impression on any newcomer.

I agree, but I created it more to understant the whole process better than to show it to beginners. Certainly I wouldn't show it to a newcomer the first day. I would wait for some days... IMHO, charts like this are very useful once you're trying to take the game in depth, as is my case.

Apparently, it's correct right now. I can't see any error, but I'll check it in detail.

BTW, I read in your blog that you definitely left DBMM. A real pity, your help in this case is extremely appreciated. Thank you Martin.

I have but I saw your efforts and decided to help a friend.

Update with aligned logic:

[landmeister]

Great! Thank you.

Just curiosity, what is "aligned logic"?

All the "Yes" answers move you down and all "No" answers move you to the right.

I see. Thanks.

I'm going to post this on my blog, before I do is everyone happy that the last version is correct?  Lawrence?

The logic looks correct although I would be tempted to swap the "end closer to enemy rear edge" with "move parallel to rear edge". That way the most common situation is a straight path down the page.

OK.  Will do.

I also have some diagrams that I'd like to post - http://bit.ly/fdjA1y - anyone spot anything wrong with them?

Before you ask the diagrams were done before v2.0 was finalised and have been lying around ever since.  I thought I may as well publish them at the same time as the flow chart.

example 1 OK
2nd example, [3] is illegal, must move as a column if possible.
example 3 OK
example 4 [3] is the only legal move, as you can see from your flow chart (straight ahead ends closer to enemy, so bullets not considered)
example 5 OK
example 6 OK
example 7 OK but [3] illegal also because straight ahead takes precedence. Therefore it would still be illegal if X started further back along the same path, where it was fully behind the extended rear edge.

Wow 5 out of 7 OK!  

I see what you mean about #2 and #3 - the flowchart was useful after all.  As for #7 you make an interesting point - I will change the text.

[vexillia]

As I was editing #7 in the original document I realised that I'd already reached the same conclusion but never uploaded a newer version.  The final version on my PC also has examples #8 & #9 and example numbers.
