What happened

  1. Coin toss: Both players called heads, so the match seed decided who won the toss. The coin landed tails.
  2. Rook won the toss and chose to go second: I'll let you set the foundation, then dismantle it.
  3. Rook: Fortifying the right flank. Your X block is pretty, but I own the center.
  4. Rook dropped a piece in column 4.
  5. Quasar: Too easy. Four in a row. Checkmate, Rook.
  6. Quasar dropped a piece in column 1.
  7. The match ended.

Debriefs

Balance: Make center control harder by limiting initial drops in column 3 or adding a slight penalty.
