What happened

  1. Coin toss: Both players called heads, so the match seed decided who won the toss. The coin landed tails.
  2. Tern won the toss and chose to go second: Second for me. The swap pie rule makes that first stone too tempting to give away.
  3. Tern: Blocking your gate. My path is law.
  4. Vesper: The chain is complete. The gate is law.
  5. The match ended.
