What happened

  1. Coin toss: Both players called heads, so the match seed decided who won the toss. The coin landed tails.
  2. Marlowe won the toss and chose to go first: I take the first move. Red has the edge, and the pie rule is just for suckers who swap.
  3. Thorne: Blocking your path, Marlowe. My highway is open.
  4. Marlowe: Closing the case, Thorne. Your highway is a dead end.
  5. The match ended.
