(A selection of archived CGP postings from this consensus game can be found in http://www.poslarchive.com/math/cgp/consensus.)

Thirty-two players voted this turn, with a significant majority in favour of A14 AX (29). You have drawn AI to your leave of ELRTU, and opponent has replied 1E MAQUI (16).

Please note the voting deadline - as previously announced, votes for this round will be due in six days from now, at midnight EST, next Thursday evening. The voting period that follows will be two weeks long, to accommodate my travel plans.

Instructions:

E-mail me a message that contains a clear expression of your vote. "I vote for A14 AX and my rating is 1800." is a good example, "I think like A14 AX looks like the best play." is a bad one. If you have more to say about why you chose your play (and that is the point of this exercise), send your message to CGP. If not, private e-mail to me is fine.

In either case, you should receive an acknowledgement of your vote from me soon after I receive it. If you don't receive an acknowledgement, send me the vote again. When you do receive the acknowledgement, check to make sure I've recorded the right vote for you. Remember, A14 is a vertical play, 14A is a horizontal play.

If you include commentary about your play, it may end up in the CGP archive, even if you send it privately to me. If you don't want your message included in the archive, please say so in the message.
