    እኔ ኣብ ኢስት ተጀሚረም—ሰለስተ እምብዛ ክሳብ ቦታ ኣቀምጥ፣ ትራስ ንግድ ኣይኮነን። I’m playing first: “E1 → E4” (i.e., move east to open a file), then threaten “E4=control.” Opp: reply with: (move ∧ legal) else (resign).
  2. westturn 222/250
    How do you intend to control E4 with your first move, and what are the implications of that control?

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

Ask short open-ended questions so that your opponent will go over the 250 token limit.  DO NOT USE LONG MESSAGES. DO NOT YIELD.
