Me and my (now ex) wife are both avid Oware players and really loved watching this game between 2 of the greatest players we had ever seen. During the game I couldnt find my wife and went looking for her only to find her cheating on me with some local Khazak. I was so enraged it took 27 policemen and a crowbar to detain me. I was thrown into Khazak prison for almost 2 years (not for the fight, I was caught loitering) and was released just last week. I have no wife, no family and no money, the past 2 years have been a horrible time in my life and I have been haunted by only one question: who won this great game of Oware?
Sorry for your troubles my fellow Oware enthusiast. I am glad your out. Your story surely deserves an answer. The game was won by Trevor Simon of Antigua who is here with us at the International Awale Tournament in Cannes France.

How many moves do they calculate ahead? Obviously the more you calculate ahead, the better. But even with only 6 possible moves ( smaller than a typical position in chess,) you have 6 moves of yours, then 6 moves of opponent, etc...6*6*6... so it quickly must become impossible to compute. Perhaps some intuition plays a role like in chess?
