I am working on the Zillions file, but I am unsure about how to do the move
of the Serpent. Anyone have any ideas about how to make it follow the
river and turn the corners without penalty?
Roberto: Yes, the light-square Bishop is probably slightly stronger
because of the 5-2 imbalance of victory squares. This is an unfortunate
consequance of the 15x15 board - the corners and center square are all the
same color. Perhaps I should have used a 15x13 board, then there would
still be a center square, but there would be 4 dark and 3 light victory
squares.
