Friendly no swap host plays second

May 8
22:14 Gulchen I can't swap, and there are no restrictions on your first move.
22:16 Guest 296232 ah, i am blocked by b5
22:16 Gulchen Yes
22:16 Gulchen took back their move.
22:20 Guest 296232 wouldn't you have won by c4
22:20 Gulchen You could've just defended the ladder, with b4.

22:22 Guest 296232 I see, thank you!
22:22 Gulchen You had other moves that would've kept your win - because they make a threat I have to answer - but otherwise, you had to foil: ​ https://www.hexwiki.net/index.php/Foiling
22:23 Gulchen _Now_ c4 wins for me, because c2 escapes the ladder.
22:23 Gulchen https://www.hexwiki.net/index.php/Ladder_escape
22:26 Gulchen Now which of the three?
22:26 Gulchen 0.5-move handicap on 6x6: ​ You go first and there is no restriction on your first move.
22:26 Gulchen 5x5, you go first, your first move can't be c3
22:26 Gulchen 5x5, I go first, you choose anywhere other than https://hexworld.org/board/#5r9c1,a1:pb1:pc1:pd1:pb5:pc5:pd5:pe5:p for my first move
22:26 Guest 296232 let's do the first one
