Message-id: <199801180519.AAA12311@coxeter.math.toronto.edu>

Forty-one players voted for the second move of this first CGP consensus game, up eight players from the first move. Thank you all. Although the first six votes cast were for six different plays, the final tally was decisively in favour of 9e OFT (23). You now draw AJN to your leave of DELS, and opponent replies e5 CHAYOTE (60). What do you play?

E-mail your vote for cgp's next move to the list if it comes with interesting commentary, or privately to me otherwise. I will send an acknowledgement message to private votes, but not to cgp votes unless specifically requested. Don't forget to include your rating, and be clear that you're voting. That is, say "I vote for X" somewhere in your message rather than "I think X looks like the best play, especially after reading about it all week".
