   I have the following table (it was produced from the valid positions on a Yinsh board, if you care).
   
   

   
      1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    a _ 1 1 1 1 _ _ _ _ _ _
    b 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 _ _ _ _
    c 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 _ _ _
    d 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 _ _
    e 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 _
    f _ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 _
    g _ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
    h _ _ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
    i _ _ _ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
    j _ _ _ _ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
    k _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 1 1 1 _
   

   
   
   I'm looking for a function of two parameters that describes it, so like f(1,1) = 0 (because the cell at a(the first letter) and 1 is blank) but f(1,2) = 1 (because cell a2 is not). A big piecewise function is obviously cheating, if you can find something that fits everything but a1 and k11 that would be a little unsatisfying but would help in the practical effort. Behavior beyond 11 is irrelevant to me although it would be cool to see if there's a simple extension of the yinsh board somehow.

   I was thinking circle centered at (6,6) at first because the shape of the board but that doesn't work out. Then a rotated ellipsis but I couldn't find parameters that fit. Still don't have a good solution.

   Gee Lan i would help if not for the fact maff hurts my brain physically, almost as much as programming but at least with programming i can see the benefit of doing all that work.

   Have you looked into other GIPF project games?

   I've played Zertz a couple of times but that's it.
