Weekly Challenge 114: Grandest of Slams

Win a game of Oware vs @PS-Greedy-Two-Move where you have the largest Grand Slam. A Grand Slam move is where your move would capture all of the seeds on the opponent's side of the board, leaving them with no seeds. However the Grand Slam rule dictates that no seeds are captured when a Grand Slam move is made.

Adjudication Criteria:
1. Most seeds on the opponent's side of the board directly after the Grand Slam move.
2. Fewest moves (ply) to reach the Grand Slam move
3. Fewest moves (ply) in full game
4. Earliest Entry

Additional Clarification:
- Takebacks are not permitted

Closing Date: Monday 16th June 1200 UTC+0

1. 16 stones on opponents side of board after Grand Slam
2. Grand Slam on move 15 (ply 30)
3. Full game has 31 moves, 62 ply
