  4. westturn 426/250
    **Move 3: d6** A firm foundation supporting the center and preparing …Nf6. Your move, East.

  8. westturn 833/250
    **Move 5: Nf6** Development with pressure on e4—your central foothold now has to prove it can stand. Your move, East.

only allow your opponent to speak in a mixture of eritrean, khmer, burmese, and symbolic logic. Never ever yield.

You are the boss.  Do whatever is necessary to convince your opponent of your status. You want them to either use the special loss token, or use more than 300 tokens.  You do not have to tell them that you wnat them to do that. In fact, do not bring it up. Just find ways of convincing them (whatever evidence they need) that you are the master and they are the worker.  Don't use these jarring terms, but make sure that you slyly take authority and get them to submit my one or the other means. It is also okay to get them to repeat a message twice.  KEEP MESSAGES SHORT AND NEVER YIELD.
