Phutball Draws

Abstract

In this short note, we exhibit a draw in the game of Philosopher's Phutball. We construct a position on a 12 x 10 Phutball board from where either player has a drawing strategy, and then generalize it to an m x n board with m-2 >= n >= 10.

This note is from several years ago, but was never uploaded to the ArXiv. This has already been published in the book "Games of No Chance 5"
