Do you know how many openings there are in Cellblock, Reimh? Are you aware of how many permutations there can be on only a hundred squares? I have seen almost all the countless aggregations of pieces that attempt to colonize and expand across the board, like the freezing of water in a vial around an impurity. I know all the traps and techniques, the useless collection of names for moves that give one a decisive advantage, should the correct position arise. And I definitely know how to go about it slow and steady. I have watched my opponent desperately try to obtain short-term wins, only to be foiled at every step of the way, all the while being slowly smothered by the inevitable crystallizing of a win from small advantages. The game deserves every bit of its name because at its most fundamental level, it is as mentally suffocating as a prison cell.
