Ah, I see, you are saying, "G has replicas from A-G, so really it should take a pare of E's range instead of G's." That seems reasonable, although it feels a little weird for X to as G for a token and be given one that G isn't the primary for. > Yes, alternating the nodes is certainly the best.

You're always going to have situations where a simple algorithm does the "wrong" thing though, which is why we leave the raw move command exposed. -Jonathan
