A player with 4 stones against 3 can only force a win if it is their go, and they can immediately make a mill.Īll of this assumes two players who are playing completely optimally, which is not usually the case. Although many of those positions should still end in draws, rather than wins for the player with more stones.Ī player is much more likely to be able to force a win when they have 7 or more stones left, than when they get down to 6. The data also reveals that a player with 3 stones left cannot force a win against an opponent with 6 or more stones left. The highest percentage of won positions is 83% when the player to move has 3 stones against 3. In figure 11 of that paper, he gives a graph of the percentage of won positions for the player to move, against the number of stones each has on the board. The first player to reduce their opponent to two. In a 1996 paper called Solving Nine Men's Morris, Ralph Gasser describes how he used search techniques to determine that, given best play, the game of nine men's morris should end in a draw. One player has nine black playing pieces, the other has nine white playing pieces.
