Duplicate Day - September 21, 2021

Duplicate Day - September 21, 2021

What makes Duplicate interesting is that even with the same 3-piece start, different players will make different choices as to what to do next.

This leads to very different outcomes!

On this day, players were limited to playing Daily or Random Duplicate games, and 81 games were played.
Some players played their first Duplicate games of the year!

Below, we see some of those choices, and at the bottom of the page, a handful of finished games. Note how some moves are common to several games, although they may not have been made at the same times.

This was the Daily Dup option, and it was played 33 times. First player won 20 times, Second, 12 times, and there was one tie.

It is a modification to the start of an FS tournament game between Darth8calculus and Kisroka01 in 2018, which ended in a tie!.

For the next move ...

The N was a popular choice.

Two others forged unique paths ...

Here are some finished games, following those starts.

The color reaching the red corner is any of the others: blue, yellow, or green.
Same for the yellow corner - it is joined by blue, or red, or green in different games.

While these two have wildly different results, they have some things in common.

lisatuohi 143 - scot 146



greenster 155 - oppie 170


littlerabbit 151 - toby 151



Here we see two of the four times katherinesan played this blue N move to get things going,
but with yellow reacting differently, the games are quite different.

katherinesan 163 - spamer 127
