On each board, the opposing player chooses which side they wish to play from that position. The game is then played on both boards simultaneously.</p> <p>This &ldquo;proposal-and-choice&rdquo; mechanism prevents players from proposing blatantly favorable positions while still allowing them to steer games toward positions they understand well. Because each player proposes one board and chooses on the other, the format is fully symmetric.</p>
