The tentacles of the Octopus!

4th Int 1983 G137

After Landry's 26-23 exchange, 8-12? loses (15-18 is essential), since 23-19; 15-18 19-15; 18-22 goes out to 24-19! (not 15-10?) and 18-23 loses to 20-16!; 12-19 15-10

See also the Draughts Bulletin, issued by the London Draughts Association, of July 1988.

Since it fooled Wexler, Landry and Pat McCarthy, this has to be considered a highly practical proposition.
