Looking forward to seeing you achieve improvement through effort this year. Mr. T:)

[Start your post with a heading (name of game) and then write a paragraph or two as explained above.]

“My favourite game is Pente. I like it because it is easy to play (not many rules) but requires skill to play well. Each player takes turns to place one of their stones on the board. If you place a stone either end of two of your opponents stones then you capture them. The winner is who gets five stones in a row or captures 10 stones. One strategy I use is to get 3 stones in a row to force my opponent to defend instead of attacking”. [MrT]

I challenge you to try to beat me!
