The Buddha's right hand performs the touching-the-earth mudra, a gesture the Buddha used to call the Earth itself to bear witness to his victory over illusion and ignorance.https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bhavacakra2.jpgbhavacakra2The Bhavacakra, or Wheel of Life, an image commonly found in Tibetan Buddhist temples. The innermost circle contains a bird, snake and pig, representing the Three Poisons of attachment, aversion and ignorance. The circle around that represents karma, then the circle outside of that represents the Six Realms in which one can be reborn, and outside of that are the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination. The deity Yama, associated with death, holds the Wheel and represents impermanence. The moon above represents liberation, and the Buddha in the upper-right points out the way toward liberation.2025-05-03T18:38:19+00:00monthlyhttps://drericsilverman.com/about-me/2024-04-18T17:55:55+00:00weekly0.6https://drericsilverman.com/2021/11/07/courier-chess-part-ii-modern-variations/https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/gigarut3-setup.pnggigarut3-setuphttps://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/gigarut3-30s-mv255.gifgigarut3-30s-mv255https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/mcc120s-mv196.gifmcc120s-mv196https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/reformedcs-120s-mv189.gifreformedcs-120s-mv189https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/moderncc-setup.pngmoderncc-setuphttps://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/reformedcs-setup.pngreformedcs-setuphttps://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/full-double-initpos-1.pngfull-double-initpos2022-02-21T05:02:59+00:00monthlyhttps://drericsilverman.com/2021/10/23/reviewing-almost-all-the-games-on-mindsports/https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/renju8.jpegrenju8https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/renju7.jpegrenju7https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/renju6.jpegrenju6https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/renju5.jpegrenju5https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/gomoku1.jpeggomoku1https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/oust7-win-10s-mv43.gifoust7-win-10s-mv43https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/oust10-win-5s-mv69.gifoust10-win-5s-mv69https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/tumbleweed-sample.pngtumbleweed-samplehttps://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/rosette-sample.pngrosette-samplehttps://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/stigmergy-sample.pngstigmergy-sample2022-10-01T10:33:25+00:00monthlyhttps://drericsilverman.com/2021/11/20/11x11-shogi-part-i-shinjuu-shogi/https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample306-mating-attack2.gifshinjuu-sample306-mating-attack2https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample306-mating-attack.gifshinjuu-sample306-mating-attackhttps://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample306-mv250.pngshinjuu-sample306-mv250https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample181-mating-attack.gifshinjuu-sample181-mating-attackhttps://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample181-mv165.pngshinjuu-sample181-mv165https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample181-mv157.pngshinjuu-sample181-mv157https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample181-mv149.pngshinjuu-sample181-mv149https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample181-mv145.pngshinjuu-sample181-mv145https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu-sample181-mv139.pngshinjuu-sample181-mv139https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shinjuu39-120s-mv306-1.gifshinjuu39-120s-mv306Shinjuu

The colour of the stone on each cell indicates the winner, if Black plays their first move to that cell. (recreated from Hayward et al., 2004)https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/opening-sample-01.pngopening-sample-01The first ten moves of a Hex game between two strong players on Little Golem (https://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=2000904). Note that play in the early going has focussed mainly on the corners, and both players are spreading their stones far across the board to gain influence.https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/tenuki2-01.pngtenuki2-01https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/tenuki1-01.pngtenuki1-01https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/sente-intrusion-01.pngsente-intrusion-01A sente move in Hex. White aims to connect to their edge with (1). Black intrudes at (2), and White is forced to play at (3) to save the connection. https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/territory-good-01.pngterritory-good-01Black (1) at i8 is better -- this move gains territory heading back toward the centre, where Black already has a presence and can make use of it.https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/territory-bad-01.pngterritory-bad-01Black (1) is a useless gain of territory, as there’s no way around the White group just above it. Black simply ends up hemmed in the corner.https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/useless-stones-01.pnguseless-stones-01https://drericsilverman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/acute-corner-intrusion.pngacute-corner-intrusionA sample corner pattern. Black jumps into the corner with (1) (the most common acute corner opening), and White responds with a close block at (2), which is also connected to the edge via Template A-4. Black (3) blocks the template while gaining some territory, while White (4) allows second-row ladder escapes.
