Thanks for the question!

Every round, you must pick one Box from the total of 14 available Boxes (you cannot use Box 1 and Box 15 for the entire tournament since you blocked them, and your opponents also won’t be able to choose them to play against you).

The Box your opponent chooses to play against you does not affect the availability of your own Boxes. So, for example, in Round 2 you will have 13 Boxes to choose from, since you already used one in Round 1 and have two blocked.

Every round, once I post the pairings, I will add a graphic that shows the Boxes the opponents have used.

11

The Boxes blocked so far by the players are:



1. GO: 19x19, 13x13, 9x9
2. Lines of Action: Lines of Action and Scrambled Eggs
3. Shogi: Shogi and Minishogi
4. Xiangqi: Xiangqi and Mini Xiangqi
5. Mancala: Oware, Togyzkumalak and Bestemshe
6. Othello: Othello, Grand Othello, AntiOthello and Octagon Othello
7. Amazons: Amazons
8. Chess 1 (Classic Chess): Standard Chess, Chess960, No-Castling
9. Chess 2 (Classic Chess Variants): Three-Check, Five-Check, KotH, Antichess
10. Chess 3 (Chess Variants): Crazyhouse, Horde, Racing Kings, Atomic, Monster
11. Draughts 1 (International variants): International, Antidraughts, BRKTHRU
12. Draughts 2: Brazilian, Russian, Pool
13. Draughts 3: Frisian, Frysk, American/English, Spanish
14. Backgammon: Backgammon, Nackgammon and Hyper
15. Breakthrough: Breakthrough and Mini Breakthrough

Thanks all that makes a lot more sense! :)
